Resumen:
THE NATURE OF THE INTERNET:
LAW AND ETHICS
FOR THE INFORMATION SOCIETY
ABSTRACT
This
work is aimed to contribute to the definition of the most adequate public
actions policies and laws- that are required to achieve an inclusive
Information Society. It seems that such policies should be meant to grant full
use of ICTs, but, whereas in developed societies these regulations should be
enough, in the underdeveloped ones, the Information Society can only be
discussed after the spreading of the ITCs, and this depends on the accuracy of
policies aimed at impelling their diffusion.
Considering that the Internet is a public good, we
evaluate how the universal access to the net should be granted. Then, we
analyze the more adequate legal policies for ITC, the Internet and the
Information Society.
We sum up that, in order to achieve an inclusive Information
Society, the universal rights of access to and benefit of Internet for
developing countries should be established
at an international level.
