The emerging power of social-networking platforms has implications for U.S. national security and foreign policy. The U.S. government must prepare itself to participate in future global conversations and information-sharing online or via cellular phones. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/bg2300.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James Jay Carafano, Ph.D. Internet and Technology Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:38:26 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/bg2300.cfm During the recent Iranian election protests, cyber activists organized via social-networking tools to share information and updates about unfolding events around the world, as well as to engage people within the country.

Gattuso Internet and Technology Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:46:38 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm1696.cfm Congress should make permanent the moratorium on the taxation of Internet access. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm1673.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James L. Gattuso Internet and Technology Mon, 22 Oct 2007 15:48:25 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm1673.cfm Internet file sharing threatens artists' ability to sell their music through digital downloading because the digital files available from artists are virtually indistinguishable from those available on peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing services. Because overly burdensome regulations hinder innovation and entrepreneurship, a market-based approach to dealing with the P2P problem is preferable. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/bg1790.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Norbert J. Michel, Ph.D. Internet and Technology Tue, 24 Aug 2004 11:39:57 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/bg1790.cfm Today's telecommunications networks are largely the result of recent investment—not a gift from the era of statutory monopolies. Additionally, investments made after the Telecommunications Act of 1996 total nearly enough to rebuild the networks twice over. The recent court decision overturning FCC leasing rules is a step in the right direction and will encourage further telecommunications investment. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/bg1745.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James Gattuso and Norbert Michel, Ph.D. Internet and Technology Thu, 08 Apr 2004 17:21:58 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/bg1745.cfm Economic analysis predicts that taxing the Internet would reduce GDP, disposable income, and employment. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm424.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Norbert J. Michel, Ph.D., and William W. Beach Internet and Technology Wed, 11 Feb 2004 17:42:08 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm424.cfm State politicians are in an uproar over a U.S. Senate bill, S. 150, that would prevent state governments from imposing taxes on Internet services. The state legislators are saying they need the money to balance their budgets. Their efforts are misguided, and would stifle innovation. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm362.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James L. Gattuso Internet and Technology Fri, 07 Nov 2003 11:05:46 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm362.cfm The Federal Communication Commission's decision to relax limits on television and radio ownership has sparked a wide debate on media concentration in America. Contrary to the rhetoric, media diversity and competition have vastly increased in recent years. In fact, continued regulation could threaten free, over-the-air television. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/HL798.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James L. Gattuso, Benjamin Compaine, Robert Okun, Chris Core Internet and Technology Tue, 07 Oct 2003 13:10:37 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/HL798.cfm Despite many mergers in the media industry in recent years, Americans today actually enjoy more diversity and competition in the media than at any other time in history, thanks to cable TV, Internet, the licensing of new broadcast stations and other factors. http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm284.cfm The Heritage Foundation - James Gattuso Internet and Technology Thu, 29 May 2003 19:39:07 EST http://www.heritage.org/Research/InternetandTechnology/wm284.cfm
