Internet governance

Overview
Internet governance is, in short, the idea that the internet could be a substrate upon which a new (and improved, from the citizens' perspective) form of government might be built. It can also refer to using the internet as a tool for incremental improvement of existing government, a process which is already well underway in most developed countries.

Just give me the damn software already, and stop yammering about how wonderful it is...
