Thanks to JP for this link to a speech at PEW, by Lee Rainie.  There is a wonderful simplicity, and clarity capured within these three policy matters for internet.  They are policy, but they are also areas that require development, new tools to support, and likely help policy along.  I cannot imagine awaiting policy makers to do something.

I want to highlight three major areas of policy ferment that will play out in the coming decade.

The first policy debate involves what kind of internet we have – from an architectural and deployment standpoint.

The second involves what kind of information policies we have – basically I am treferring to the kind of rules we develop about information property such as copyright, patents and trademarks.

And the third involves what kind of policies and norms we develop about our online identities – that is, the policies we construct about online privacy, anonymity and surveillance.
