Digital Economy Agenda

Overview
On November 9, 2015, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced its Digital Economy Agenda, which is focused around four key opportunities:


 * 1) Promoting a free and open Internet worldwide, because the Internet functions best for our businesses and workers when data and services can flow unimpeded across borders.
 * 2) Promoting trust online, because security and privacy are essential if electronic commerce is to flourish.
 * 3) Ensuring access for workers, families, and companies, because fast broadband networks are essential to economic success in the 21st century.
 * 4) Promoting innovation, through smart intellectual property rules and by advancing the next generation of exciting new technologies.

This agenda is intended tp help businesses and consumers realize the potential of the digital economy to advance growth and opportunity, at home and around the world.
