Born in 1952, Mr. Aizu specializes the InfoSocinomics, or the study of “Information Society”. He promoted the use of PC based communications in the ’80s and the Internet in the ’90s, participated in the global policy debate on “Internet Governance” and “Information Society” in the ’90s and ’00s with the civil society perspective. He is recently working on the policy and governance issues of Artificial Intelligence (AI), reviewing the building process of the Information Society, and also investigating the factors that support Open and Social Innovation at large.

The paper argues that there is an implicit guiding principle behind several policy initiatives on these issues that might well be described as being based on the conceptual framework of 'Network Neutrality'. The paper further identifies some new policy issues, such as mobile content regulation, interconnection of the NGN and the Internet (IPv6), the introduction of Internationalised Domain Name (IDN) country code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD), and depletion of IPv4 address spaces. In order to accommodate these new policy challenges located in the upper layer of the communication architecture, this paper suggests extending the scope of Network Neutrality and examining the 'multi-stakeholder' approach exercised at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).

We notice that now there are many policy initiatives taken place in Japan in the information and communication (ICT) market, and we suggest that there is some implicit guiding principle behind these initiatives. It might be best described as something based on the conceptual framework of "Network Neutrality",".
