Abstract

A wide variety of machines and human users in separate organizations communicate with one another via interconnected computer networks. The development and use of these Inter-Organization Networks (IONs) has serious implications for the public telecommunications infrastracture. It is increasingly unclear where the ION participants' networks end and the public network begins. This article defines and gives examples of IONs, and discusses the primary policy issues raised by their use. In order to understand and predict policy outcomes, the relationships between technical, organizational and policy variables are discussed in detail. The model presented illuminates the strategic significance of IONs. The analysis focuses on the new economics of interorganization communications introduced by this telecommunication-based innovation.
