[ecrea] Nordicom: On the International Agenda 2-2011

On the International Agenda is a newsletter from NORDICOM providing you with news on some of the major policy developments at the international level.

Here are some of the issues covered in the No 2, 2011 edition:

- There has been intense wrangling over Internet governance in recent months. Who should make the decisions?

Policymakers in the EU as well as the US vow to promote Internet freedom worldwide.

There is increasing concern about privacy on the Internet. Such issues have been much discussed in various contexts lately.

- Access to broadband is of the utmost importance for economic growth, often highlighted by the OECD and the ITU. Access is not enough, however, states the UNESCO Director General.

- Preservation of digital information is becoming increasingly important but faces many challenges. Such issues were recently discussed at an international conference in Moscow
