Abstract
Puts ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) into a broader political and legal context, and asks whether the new Internet corporation could be seen as a political pilot project which explores the feasibility of a global management and decision‐making system, based on a co‐regulatory model of a “new trilateralism”. Concludes the global knowledge‐based information society is dawning – but nobody can predict the future – the feeling of excitement spreads intangibly.
