| Title | Models of Internet Regulation |
| Summary | Internet emerged in our lives as a global phenomenon. It widely opened doors of innovation and made it accessible to everyone. From military project internet has grown to trend of world importance, which affects lives of billions of citizens within hundreds of states all over the world. Internet has huge potential, but to receive its benefits internet needs appropriate regulation. From the beginning of Internet era scholars have debated on the question how should the Internet be regulated. This paper discusses several proposed models of internet regulation, which include Self-Regulation, International Regulation, Model of Code, National Regulation and Market Regulation. The paper focuses on finding of advantages and disadvantages of these models and proposes two recommendations to be addressed in nearest future. Regulation the internet is challenging task. Due to its global nature Internet involves several stakeholders and their interests are not always in line with each other. Governments of nation states, international organizations, network engineers, private sector and civil society all have interests in different parts of internet governance. Industries, international organizations and nation states had decades and sometimes even centuries to overcome problems of regulation, while internet, as we know it now, is relatively recent development. Its global potential is not yet fully achieved. This makes it even harder to give preference to any particular institution and make casting vote, because decision may be yet premature. |
