DESCRIPTION:This session will discuss how the Internet has led to innovatio
 n and growth and what key policy areas may still require consideration.&nb
 sp\; A crucial factor in the success of the Internet has been decentralise
 d multi-stakeholder frameworks and open access.&nbsp\; Open access has hel
 ped in developing a range of new businesses and applications\, enhanced co
 nsumer choice and is important in the dissemination and wider use of scien
 tific research results.&nbsp\; Internet based open social networks have in
 creased the effectiveness of knowledge networks.&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The Interne
 t has lowered market entry barriers and facilitated the rapid development 
 of new small and medium enterprises and the development of cloud computing
  is providing further benefits to business.&nbsp\; As mobile broadband dev
 elops and in some countries overtakes fixed broadband access\, policy-make
 rs should factor this in to their policy approaches. General principles th
 at policy-makers can follow while addressing Internet policy issues can he
 lp set the framework for an open Internet.&nbsp\; They also can be useful 
 in providing guideposts to private companies and governments when they con
 sider taking initiatives with respect to access to information\, its distr
 ibution\, preservation\, portability and the use of platforms and networks
 . These include infrastructure and connectivity\, the role of intermediari
 es\, the appropriate role of government and of business to support innovat
 ion and growth\, and to maintain an open Internet environment at the inter
 national level and the free flow of information.
