The American Internet Advantage examines reasons for and implications of U.S. dominance in the Internet business. The development of Internet technology, the comparative study of its uses in the U.S. and Europe, and the unanticipated consequences of political decisions and technological programs suggest that the role of government planning pales in significance to the complexity of the modern global order being shaped by the Internet through the confluence and clash of various interests.
