Safe Internet Alliance

The common theme with innovators and technical people is freedom for engineering innovation and to spur new business models. At the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) event, “Going Mobile:  Technology and Policy Issues in the Mobile Internet Age”  continued technical innovation relies on four key principles:  no limit to freedom of network engineering; no limit to the freedom of ISP’s, network operators or service providers to devise new financial or business models; recognition that the Internet is global so no one country can set all the rules; and lastly that engineering freedom does not give license to theft. Oversight is needed but with a continued light touch.”
