Information Technology

Abstract

The US Information Technology (IT) industry is a critical enabler of all major US industries and their ability to support the US National Security Strategy. As a crucial element of US Government and Department of Defense transformation efforts, the US IT industry must overcome several challenges if it is to retain its lead in the world market. These challenges include maintaining a strong IT workforce, addressing growing foreign competition, developing critical infrastructure protection, balancing spectrum allocation, ensuring interoperability and interconnectivity, and controlling intellectual property rights. The health of the US IT industry must remain a vital interest of industry leaders, academia, and US policy makers alike.
