Exerpt:
Key escrow now dropped
"Now that key escrow has been dropped by the government, the committee
believes that the rationale for an electronic commerce bill is open to
question," the report states.
"It recommends that the government think twice about the content of
the forthcoming bill and only include in the bill measures which will
promote electronic commerce rather than measures discarded from the
previous key escrow policy."
