The Global Public Sphere: Media and Communication Rights

New technologies enable communication that transcends the boundaries of the nation state, creating the possibility of a public sphere that also transcends the nation state. The A2K movement itself takes advantage of the digital facilities - such as wikis, blogs, mobile devices, and social networking tools - that might produce a global public sphere. At the same time, the technologies that enable the possibility of a global public sphere also create mechanisms for censoring, blocking, and restricting access. Restrictive mechanisms range from traditional forms of censorship to digital filtering through to media concentration.

This panel will assess how the networked public sphere both engenders new opportunities but also places new limitations on methods of public mobilization and protest.

Technological Standards are Public Policy

I just listened to Laura DeNardis, executive director of Yale Law School’s Information Society Project, speak during the panel on Technologies for Access. She makes the point that many of our technological standards are being made behind closed doors and by private, largely unaccountable, parties such as ICANN, ISO, the ITU, and other standards bodies. She advocates the concept of Open Standards, which she defines in a three-fold way as open in development, open in implementation, and open in usage. DeNardis worries that without such protections in place stakeholders can be subject to a standard they were not a party to, and this can affect nations in ways that might not be beneficial to them, particularly in areas such as civil rights, and especially in less developed countries. In fact, an audience member comments that even when countries appears to be involved, their delegations are often comprised of private companies and are not qualified. For example, she says that there are only three countries in Africa that have people with the requisite techinical expertise in such state standards councils and that the involvment process is far from transparent. DeNardis also mentions the Dynamic Coalition on Open Standards designed to preserve the open architecture of the internet, with which the Yale ISP is involved for advocacy at the Internet Governance Forum. DeNardis powerfully points out that standards are very much public policy, as much as the regulation we typically think of as public policy.

Open Business Models

A new breed of entrepreneurs has emerged to challenge the old assumption that exclusive intellectual property regimes are essential for cultural innovation. These new business models demonstrate that “free culture”—in the sense of open and democratic—can still provide livelihoods for creators and businesspeople. This panel will examine these new ways of doing business and discuss their potential to foster wider access to knowledge in a digital age, and features Ronaldo Lemos, Fundacão Getulio Vargas (FGV) School of Law; Charles Igwe, The Big Picture Ltd; Regina Casé, Pindorama Produçoes Artisticas Ltda; Elizabeth Stark, Yale Information Society Project; and moderated by William Drake, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.
