Governance of Communication Networks: Connecting Societies and Markets with IT (Contributions to Economics) - Tapa blanda

From the reviews:

"Governance of Communication Networks: Connecting Societies and Markets with IT ... is a wide-ranging volume that examines the challenges that information and communication technologies bring for individuals, organizations, and countries alike. ... Those new to the field will benefit from the overview that the book provides, as would those seeking for a largely European perspective on the governance of communication networks or wishing to dip their toes into a particular subject." (Jason Whalley, Communications Booknotes Quarterly, Vol. 38 (2), 2007)

Few would doubt the potential of information technology to connect individuals, firms and organisations. Whether this will actually lead to the integration of markets and societies is a different issue. The articles collected in this book shed light on crucial considerations for the success of global communication networks. These include frameworks for regulation, inclusion of customers in defining product and service strategies, access to advanced technology and networks for all groups, and more.
