Net policy agenda in works

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado--From cybercrimes and Net taxes to
electronic commerce, lawmakers at the first Internet Summit of
the States are tired of Congress working alone to shape policy
for the Information Age.

Joined by high-tech and telecommunications industry executives,
legislators from 29 states have gathered here to bang out their
own Internet policy agenda during the next two days.

Topping the lawmakers' list is whether to support a
temporary federal ban on localities imposing new taxes
targeted at only Net-related services. Also on the list are how
to drive investment in local phone service infrastructures in
order to increase bandwidth for data transmission; how to handle
unsolicited email and online privacy; and figuring out what
legislation--if any--will lure Silicon Valley wealth to their
diverse states.
