The benefits of transborder data flows on the Internet are being underestimated. We need a more coherent system for the transfer of personal data across national borders, argues Christopher Kuner. He calls on governments and others to come to terms with the fact that a regulatory system offering good rather than total protection in most cases is the best that can be achieved. Kuner will defend his PhD thesis on Wednesday January 30th at Tilburg University.
