RESEARCH ARTICLES

New media competition and access: the
scarcity-abundance dialectic (available free for a
limited time)
It is often argued that constraints on access to new
information and communication environments will
disappear as services decline in price and as
customers and producers engage in new market
relationships. Following this line of argument, the
relative scarcity of communication and information
access opportunities of the past should be dispelled.
The aim of this article is to illustrate the faults in
this vision as applied to Internet and new media
services development. It is argued that the new
electronic environment will not be immune to forces of
monopolization nor will it give rise to an era of
market competition that fully protects the interests
of all consumers and citizens. In fact, empirical
evidence suggests that electronic intermediary service
providers are populating the new markets and deploying
strategies that are no less informed by monopolization
strategies than in the past, though they do take
different forms. The evidence is consistent with the
inescapable dynamics of tension between abundance and
scarcity in the market place.

Towards a digital economy with Chinese
characteristics? (available free for a limited time)
There are two opposing views when considering economic
development strategies in the digital age: some insist
that the 'new economy' applies mainly to the
industrialized countries and are doubtful that new
information and communications technologies (ICTs)
will allow developing countries to leapfrog to higher
levels of development; others argue that
'jump-starting' development may not be as difficult as
the pessimists think. Through a case study on China's
'twin-track strategy' for economic development, which
involves merging industrialization and
informatization, this article aims to investigate
whether developing countries are able to play a
significant role in shaping the digital revolution and
the global 'new economy'. The evidence presented in
this article suggests that China's status as a poor
and developing country has not prevented its
government from making effective preparations to
embrace the opportunities and challenges associated
with new ICTs in ways that are compatible with
indigenous socioeconomic factors.

China and the globalization of ICTs: Implications for
international relations
As the People's Republic of China (PRC) accedes to the
World TradeOrganization (WTO), much speculation has
been generated about the political impact of the
opening of its telecommunications market to foreign
firms and investors. This article evaluates the
assumptions behind competing views from the West and
China, drawing out the implications for international
politics. It argues that international economic,
technological and security regimes fail to address
human rights concerns that arise from the
globalization of information and communication
technologies (ICTs), despite the fact that serious
problems are generated by the need for cooperation
between liberal-democratic and authoritarian regimes
to preserve state security. To redress the balance, it
is necessary to move away from assumptions of
technological determinism held by policy-makers, in
favour of developing a communication analysis of
security that can embrace broader political issues.

A social shaping perspective on the development of the
world wide web: The case of iCraveTV (available free
for a limited time)
This article uses the Social Shaping of Technology
(SST) framework to analyze the case of a Canadian
internet company called iCraveTV, which captured
broadcast television signals off the air and
retransmitted them over the internet. The case study
identifies and discusses the social and legal
mechanisms by which relevant social groups can exert
substantial force on the development of the web. The
example of iCraveTV directs attention to questions
about the interactions of domestic and transnational
forces in the shaping of internet and world wide web
technologies. The article concludes that the path of
development of the internet and the world wide web
remains open to potential intervention and regulation.

The Embedding of Local Culture in Global
Communication: Independent Internet Cafés in London
(available free for a limited time)
Although public internet access in London is dominated
by the large chain easy Internet Cafe, outside the
central areas many small independent internet cafés
are catering to local populations. This article
examines the ways in which two of these cafés operate.
Participant observation and interviews provide the
data for this study of the ways in which both the
local and the global are embedded into the internet
cultures which are found in such settings. Patterns of
migration and local demographics are found to be just
as important as the layout of the space or the
technological infrastructure. It is suggested that
these spaces merit more study and that the
standardized easy Internet café should not become the
dominant unit of analysis for the study of London
internet cafés, despite its significant presence in
the city.

Children's Use of the Internet: Reflections on the
Emerging Research Agenda (available free for a limited
time)
As domestic access to the internet reaches the mass
market in industrialized countries, this article
identifies and evaluates the emerging research agenda,
focusing particularly on children and young people.
The nature of children's internet use generates public
anxieties which both guide and undermine research,
complicating the already challenging study of children
within the privacy of the home. The body of empirical
work reviewed is still small, but already key
questions of academic and policy significance are
being addressed regarding the opportunities and
dangers of internet use. Such opportunities include
communication, identity and participation, and
education, learning and literacy; dangers arising from
exclusion and the digital divide, and from certain
kinds of use relating to inappropriate or undesirable
contact, content and commercialism. In each of these
domains, research strengths and gaps for future
research are identified. The article concludes by
noting areas of theoretical consensus and uncertainty
framing the research agenda in this field.

Gender and the use of the internet at home (available
free for a limited time)
In the United States and Australia, men and women use
the internet in nearly equal measure, whereas in
Japan, India and China, men continue to dominate
internet use. This article focuses on gender
differences in the use of the internet at home as seen
from women's perspectives and draws particularly on
open-ended interviews in 1999 with 30 middle-income
Anglo-Celtic women with internet access in urban and
rural areas of Australia. The study found that women
generally use the internet as a tool for activities,
rather than as play or a technology to be mastered.
This partially explains why women farmers use the
internet more extensively than their farmer husbands.
When women become comfortable with technology – as
with the telephone or the PC on a farm – women see it
as a tool rather than a technology. Women's continued
discomfort with technology thus remains at the centre
of the social construct of gender and technology.
http://nms.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/3/4/395
New Media, New Freedoms, New Threats (available free
for a limited time)
This article argues that new media often get involved
in struggles for new freedoms. The nascent book was
involved in the struggle for religious freedom, the
public press was engaged in the struggle for political
freedom and today the Internet is, in turn, used as an
instrument for the advocacy and promotion of new
liberties: the freedoms of intimacy. These freedoms
are related to needs and preferences derived from
identities and lifestyles of communities based on
gender, ethnicity, religious affiliation and sexual
orientation. As new media help people to extend the
frontiers of freedom, public authorities have often
attempted to impose controls over them. This article
identifies four traditional means of censorship
(legal, administrative, violent and economic), and
shows that the digital era has brought with it new
means of curbing freedom of speech: technology.
Finally, this article argues that since the
book-burning scenes of the Inquisition, censorship has
steadily moved away from demonstrative and restorative
justice. The means to curb freedom of speech have
become both more efficient and less visible.

Child Pornography and the Internet (available free for
a limited time)
Historically, the subject of child pornography is one
that has enraged the public and especially parents.
However, over the past decade, with the introduction
of the Internet, the passing of the Child Sex Abuse
and Porn Act, and increased federal funds to help
control the action, individuals who 20 years ago would
not have discussed the subject are now open to
conversations centered around the problem. Included in
today’s discussions is often the fact that the
Internet nowmakes possible the distribution and trade
of materials that would not be available at the local
convenience store. Individuals may, through the
Internet, obtain the sexually explicit materials often
without threat of detection, any financial obligation,
and with only the click of a mouse button. When it
comes to the punishment of those few convicted in
connection with child pornography, today’s citizens
and the law enforcement community stress very punitive
interventions(Wilson, 1985). Unfortunately, as the
activities multiply, laws vary, detection is minimal,
and the targeting and recruitment of children is at
the hands of the pedophiles and pornographers who use
the Internet.

Liability in Cyberspace: Some Key Legal Issues when
Publishing Material Online that Refers to Individuals
(available free for a limited time)
Publishing has always attracted a number of legal
risks, and information professionals that publish
materials in some way or another have always had to be
aware of those risks, and the practical steps that can
be taken to reduce them. This is especially so when
the material being published (or, say, included in a
publicly available archive) relates to a living
identifiable individual. The growth of the Internet
has far outpaced changes in the law. This has brought
about a new set of risks for publishers borne out of
the ambiguity of applying traditional ‘paper based’
laws to new media and also, generally, out of the
global availability of information posted on the
Internet and therefore the potential application of
laws of more than one country. The rapidly increasing
use of the Internet by information professionals as a
standard tool for disseminating access to materials
and information means that they need to be aware of
the risks associated with online publishing, the way
the law is moving to address those risks, and what
steps can be taken to reduce them. This article looks
at two key legal risks which arise in relation to the
making available online materials which relate to
individuals: libel and data protection. It not only
looks at the risks in England (under English law) but
focuses on the risk, due to the global availability of
the Internet, of someone placing material on the
Internet finding themselves liable under the laws of
other countries. It examines some recent cases and
goes on to provide some advice as to practical steps
that can be taken to reduce risk associated with
making available materials online which relate to
individuals.
