- Abstract
- The U.S. is one of the world leaders in the digital economy, but digitalization sig nificantly varies by sector. The Digital Economy Agenda was approved on 9 November 2015. It consists of four policy pillars: 1. The Free and Open Internet, 2. Trust and Security Online, 3. Access and Skills, 4. Innovation and Emerging Technologies. The Commerce Depart ment is in charge for its implementation. The U.S. is seeking a free cross-border information flow, removing restrictions on its storage and processing. A pilot program for Digital Trade Officers abroad ("Digital AttachMs") was launched. The reform of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbersand the privatization of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority functions is one of the U.S. priorities. Some initiatives aimed at strengthen ing commercial and personal data privacy protections were advanced, e.g. Safe Har bor Frameworks and Privacy Shield Frameworks were signed with the EU and Swit zerland. BroadbandUSA was launched in 2015 to provide guidance and tools to com munities to plan broadband network infrastructure projects. The U.S. also develops the digital economy by working to promote more efficient patent systems. The U.S. promotes interoperability of multiple platforms and intellectual networks and devel opment of new technical standards to develop the Internet of Things.
