Step by step, decision by decision, the everyday work of government is changing 'the rules of the game' and giving rise to "information Government" (iGovernment), without this being based on any overall strategic agenda or awareness among political decision-makers.

The Internet challenges the traditional position of the consumer. In discussing the pros and cons of a European Union liability regime for suppliers of electronic services, this article analyses a possible need for a new liability regime to protect consumers in an online world. Attention is also given to possible non-legislative measures to provide consumers with an adequate level of protection given the specifics of electronic services. The article concludes with a position on whether a new European service liability regime is needed to better protect consumers in the online world.
We started with the observation that some commentators consider appeals to anonymity to be little more than rhetoric and not worthy of serious consideration. This book takes a completely different perspective. The authors of the different chapters have shown us that the concept of anonymity is increasingly invoked in the information society debate and that this development gives rise to various questions, dilemmas and fields of tension. This final chapter intends to draw tentative conclusions concerning the dimensions of anonymity and how it is defined differently depending on its context. It then discusses the tensions or conflicts in the differing values and, finally, elaborates on the approach the law is taking and may take in the future.
