-Preserving an Internet that is built upon open standards and protocols and "end-to-end" architecture, thereby fostering innovation and user control.
-Protecting consumers of digital technology from market practices designed to erode competition, choice and fairness.
-Ensuring that international intellectual property policies are adopted through democratic processes and with public interest participation. | | View this resource: | |
