This book provides an introductory overview to all of the major policy issues in the United States related to information technology. These issues include federal funding of research that helped to create the Internet; telecommunications issues such as regulations about wireless technologies; computer security and homeland defense; governance and use of the Internet such as spam, viruses, electronic voting, taxation of online commerce, and child pornography; privacy; intellectual property issues such as copyright infringement related to peer-to-peer sharing of music and video files, or trademark infringement through the misuse of domain names (cybersquatting); antitrust in the software industry; uneven access to information technology in poor, rural, and minority communities (Digital Divide); and visas for foreign workers. Every chapter identifies the main players, the history of legislation and court cases in this area, and describes recent events. Accessible and interesting to both policy people and technical computing people, as well as to any computer user or IT worker who wanted a general understanding of these issues. The book will help policy people, most of whom are generalists, to understand the basic issues of IT policy. The book will also help IT professionals to understand the process by which their technology is politically controlled.

He holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in mathematics from Wesleyan University and a doctorate in history of science from University of Wisconsin—Madison.

Review:
"Technologists usually think that policy makers don't understand technology. Policy makers often think that technologists don't understand policy. Both camps are basically right, but this excellent and accessible-to-all volume will go a long way towards changing that dysfunctional gap. This outstanding volume is balanced in scope, and each chapter is carefully crafted to provide both historical perspective and current examples. I highly recommend it."
Peter A. Freeman, Founding Dean and Professor, College of Computing Georgia Institute of Technology

This book is a landmark. Its ten chapters provide an accessible yet authoritative introduction to the major topics surrounding information technology policy in the United States, ­ topics such as privacy, Internet governance, workforce, computer security, antitrust, R&D funding, intellectual property, and the digital divide. This book will prove invaluable to all who must chase Moore¹s Law: ­ those who seek to understand and shape the laws and policies that must keep pace with the exponential rate of change in the information technology field."
Edward D. Lazowska, Co-Chair of the President¹s Information Technology Advisory Committee
