Summary:

The significance of the governance of the Internet is increasing. The United Nations' World Summit on the Information Society, held in two phases in 2003 and 2005, provoked heated debate, and the issue has become the subject of growing public and media interest. This book takes a detailed, systematic, and non-polemical look at the issue.
