Corporate networks, privatization and state sovereignty: Pending issues for the 1990s?

Manley R. Irwin and Michael J. Merenda

Telecommunications Policy, 1989, vol. 13, issue 4, 329-335

Abstract: Since the 1980s the growing importance of the corporate network has raised sensitive policy issues in telecommunications relating to privatization and national sovereignty. This paper explores these issues in relation to the corporate network and analyses the existing problems and those that will arise in the next decade. The authors examine the corporate network, its workings, its importance as a competitive strategy, especially in a global context, and explain how this causes policy tensions. The authors suggest that these tensions will not dissipate over time, but that they will continue to affect policy-making well into the 1990s.
