The NGA and the impact of new technology

Abstract

In the past the NGA dominated the communications world of paper and ink. This domination is being undermined by the micro‐processor revolution which is creating an alternative communications world based on electronic devices and in which the NGA presently has little influence. Here the author analyses the strategies and policies adopted by the NGA to retain its influence in the ‘shrinking’communications world of paper and to gain some influence in the new communications.
