MEDIA GROUPS WORK TO ESTABLISH E-COMMERCE GUIDELINES
Top executives from America Online, Time Warner, Vivendi and Bertelsmann
have established a working group to advocate ways of keeping global Internet
trade free of government regulations. "We are convinced that the best way
is through self regulation and business-oriented policies," says
Bertelsmann's Thomas Middelhoff, who adds that his group is in sharp
disagreement with the European privacy initiative, which restricts database
exchanges with countries that have a lower level of consumer privacy
guarantees than the EU. The working group will tackle issues such as
privacy safeguards, building consumer confidence, legal responsibilities,
taxes and tariffs, jurisdiction, infrastructure and intellectual property
rights. Other U.S. companies that have joined the group include IBM,
Hewlett-Packard, MCI WorldCom, and Netscape. (Miami Herald 15 Jan 99)
