Considerable additional privatized governance has emerged in relation to global information and communications. For example, the International Telecommunication Union has moved from being an intergovernmental organization to a hybrid construction with 600 affiliated companies as well as 189 member states (Salter, 1999). Names and addresses in cyberspace are regulated through the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), created in 1998 with operations that involve business, technical, academic and user inputs (Franda, 2001).
