Popis:	This introductory article covers a number of aspects of the information revolution in Asia. It presents the telecommunications industry as one invigorated by international market forces, in contrast to a broadcasting industry tempered by regional policies to preserve culture and values, and faced with difficulties in producing culturally relevant material. Recent moves towards international cooperation in standardizing technology and networks are examined, as well as the attempts to develop international laws for such muddy areas as transbordef broadcasting. It details the problems faced so far, and highlights some negative aspects of the information revolution that must be overcome. An assessment is also made, of the effect of advances in communication for developing countries, with a discussion of whether such technologies have a liberating effect, or an exploitative one.
