The one and future internet

Carl Bildt and Gordon Smith

Journal of Cyber Policy, 2016, vol. 1, issue 2, 142-156

Abstract: The internet has become inextricably entangled into our economies, cultural and social lives. We stand on the brink of the next technological revolution, in which the internet of things transforms the network of networks into the infrastructure of all infrastructures. It is now essential that we find a sustainable way to govern and manage the internet. The technologies that are revolutionising all aspects of our society are still young; it is not sufficient for us to take a passive approach, hoping that the technology alone will determine an open, secure, trustworthy and inclusive internet. For us to create a healthy future, internet will require positive actions by many people and institutions. This paper focuses on the work of the Global Commission on Internet Governance, a joint project by CIGI and Chatham House, under the leadership of Carl Bildt. It brought together experts from around the world to provide an evidence-based analysis of today’s internet policy landscape, and to provide a potential roadmap for the future of internet governance.
