The authoring committee - composed of distinguished leaders from both industry and the academic community - makes recommendations aimed at policy makers, industry, and researchers and discusses a variety of issues: how the Internet's constituent parts are interlinked, and how economic and technical factors make maintaining the Internet's seamless appearance complicated; how the Internet faces scaling challenges as it grows to meet the demands of users in the future; tensions inherent between open innovation on the Internet and the ability of innovators to capture the commercial value of their breakthroughs; regulatory issues posed by the Internet's entry into other sectors, such as telephony.".
