selected OECD countries. New empirical findings related to telecommunications,
Internet and growth also are presented. Based on the theoretical and empirical
analyses various policy options are developed. Policy measures, both at the
regional and national levels, can stimulate structural change, knowledge
diffusion and economic growth. Different governance strategies for the Internet
and e-commerce are identified from a global perspective.
