This is what they were doing in NY!! Media, tech execs form e-commerce group By Bloomberg News Special to CNET News.com January 14, 1999, 5:45 p.m. PT Top executives from Time Warner, America Online, IBM, Bertelsmann and other media and technology companies met in New York today to discuss ways to mold electronic commerce policy around the world, hoping to head off government intervention. The event marked the founding of the Global Business Dialogue on E-Commerce, a group that will involve industry representatives from the financial services, consumer products, and manufacturing sectors. The group has formed nine separate working groups that will focus on various policy issues. Companies are stepping up efforts at self-regulation in online consumer privacy and security to avoid the imposition of strict government regulation. Media and technology companies already have teamed up to address regulation of the Internet through such groups as the Online Privacy Alliance, which represents AOL, Time Warner and Yahoo, among others.
