本文考察了公共访问和私人数字网络的架构，以确定它们可能以何种方式(a)受到监管，(b)改变民族国家的权威，以及(c)对自由民主和公民社会的政治潜力产生积极或消极影响。在此背景下探讨的两个关键问题是监管的含义，这可能与我们对国家监管的历史理解大不相同，其次，公共访问和私人数字网络之间的尖锐且经常被忽视的差异。
This article examines the architecture of public access and of private digital networks in order to establish in what ways they might be (a) subject to regulation, (b) alter the authority of the national state, and (c) have positive or negative impacts on liberal democracy and on the political potential of civil society. Two of the key issues explored in this context are the meaning of regulation, which is likely to be quite different from our historically grounded understandings of state regulation, and, second, the sharp and often overlooked differences between public access and private digital networks.
