The document, a product of an 18-agency working group headed by presidential Senior Adviser Ira Magaziner, covers every cyberspace major issue before governments and Internet users worldwide. Though in many ways it is a restatement of approaches already suggested elsewhere, the document urges a shift towards free market forces on the Net and a rejection of government interference in electronic commerce. The blueprint also represents the first time the administration has issued unambiguous policy statements regarding tariffs, censorship on the Internet and establishment of a body of international law for commerce.
