The role of the Internet in the 21st Century – a key economic and social infrastructure on which the world depends to support economic growth and social development in countless areas, from healthcare and education to public services and the environment – and guiding principles for growth and development to enable societies to:

* Benefit from the innovation that the Internet triggers, while creating an environment that supports investment in infrastructure and services.
* Safeguard individual privacy while encouraging the deployment of services and devices that tailor information to individuals or allow them to participate in online social networks.
* Identify strategies for competitive communication services to flourish in developed and developing countries.
* Build on the Internet’s successes, based on the decentralised nature of the network and the tradition of public and private sector interaction, for an infrastructure that is an essential element of economic and social welfare.
