    "The past 15 years has unquestionably transformed the planet to a cyberspace infrastructure focus. The resulting unregulated Internet environment provides usage choices as with other public resources such as the public highways or the public telephone system. America's innovation and our first amendment rights lead us to choose the high road. Our choice is clearly one that respects the property, privacy, bandwidth and security of this global electronic community. If we abuse the system, we will lose one of the greatest technological achievements that connects mankind and shares the academic treasures of the world."
