Internet can't co-exist with the concept of governance: Sibal New Delhi: A new cyber jurisprudence, having no political boundaries, needs to be evolved to deal with Internet crime, Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal said on Tuesday.

Sibal stressed on putting in place a system which is "collaborative, consultative, inclusive and consensual for dealing with all public policies involving the Internet"....more
