Pendant longtemps, l'Internet a incarné une ressource mondiale tranascendant l'Etat. Il était synonym d'absence de frontières et de mondialisation.

Bern, 05.11.2014 - As part of the universal service, the minimum data rates for broadband internet connections will be doubled. This is one of the consequences of the Federal Council's approval of various amendments to ordinances in the telecommunications sector. These amendments improve transparency and the indication of prices for telecommunications services and value-added services and strengthen the means available to the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) in order to combat frequency spectrum interference.
The goal of this study by Tim Maurer and Robert Morgus 'is to contribute to greater clarity and understanding regarding terminology related to cyberspace and cybersecurity by offering a collection of existing definitions of related terms primarily provided by international organizations or standard setting bodies as well as by states through national (cyber-) security strategies and documents. These are complemented by terms from a few selected other sources such as the Oxford Dictionary on Computing'.

For economists, national data is just as important. The same applies to critical infrastructure, and many other areas.
