About Open Information Policy
The Information Program’s Open Information Policy initiative has two aims. First, to broaden communications access in the most disadvantaged countries, with an emphasis on new approaches using open standards and competitive access to resources; and second, to protect the freedom to communicate in the digital environment.
Affordable Communications Access
The aim of this component of the Information Program is to broaden sustainable Internet access for key open society constituencies in the most disadvantaged countries by supporting policy interventions and staging of new models.
Free Expression on the Internet
The Information Program supports watchdog groups that respond to threats to basic freedoms emerging from repressive use of new communications technologies.
