Global Information Society:

   -- encouraging private investment

   -- defining an adaptable regulatory framework

   -- providing open access to networks

   while

   -- ensuring universal provision of and access to services

   -- promoting equality of opportunity to the citizen

   -- promoting diversity of content, including cultural and linguistic
diversity

   -- recognising the necessity of worldwide cooperation with particular
attention to less developed countries

   These principles will apply to the Global Information Infrastructure 
by means of:

   -- promotion of interconnectivity and interoperability

   -- developing global markets for networks services and applications

   -- ensuring privacy and data security

   -- protecting intellectual property rights

   -- cooperating in research and development and in the development of new
applications

 The G-7 also agreed to support a series of pilot projects in such
areas as access to government information, on-line healthcare services,
