Who Governs the Internet?

This book adopts a policy-based approach toward internet governance. It broadens the definition of internet governance and reintroduces the question of who governs the actual activity that occurs on the Internet by examining the policy process affecting the Internet’s infrastructure, technical protocols, software applications, and content.
