Though more successful in data sales than EOSAT, SPOT Image requires substantial subsidy from the French government in order to function. Thus, attempts for total commercialization of major remote sensing programs have not been completely successful. It is doubtful that the market could support the large capital costs of a major remote sensing system. Furthermore, in Europe and the U.S. the desire for commercialization must walk a fine line between encouraging and discouraging private sector growth. In Europe, cost recovery policies may compete with growing private firms. In the U.S., national policy for commercialization must mesh with encouragement of the private sector. For example, in October of last year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to partially privatize activities of the U.S. National Weather Service in direct recognition of the growth of private sector firms: the Bill specified that the National Weather Service “will not compile data that the private sector is able and willing to provide.” Finally, attempts at partial or total privatization of data collection agencies must consider whether or not the existing market will support the collection of data needed for long-term scientific data sets. The Rise of an “Information Economy.” Many economists now argue that international economic systems have evolved into an “information economy,” where markets now respond to the inherent value of data, much as if data itself constituted a commodity. The above economic factors now affecting international remote sensing can be seen as an expression of this evolution. Increasingly, in a world where data is becoming more and more of a “commodity” in the traditional economic sense, we are seeing international data agreements moving closer towards 43 traditional trade agreements. For example, the on-going conflict between the U.S. and Europe over the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Resolution governing charging fees for certain types of data has seen recent protests by the U.S. to the International Trade Administration, and possible future moves for the U.S. Department of Commerce to take over certain parts of the negotiation in a forum traditionally controlled only by meteorologists. New economic theories and systems are now evolving to govern the economic value of information. It is recognized that not all kinds of information have equal value. New standardized systems of valuation for information must be agreed upon and used in order to facilitate the growth of a global market for information as a commodity. Within this evolving context, allowing the scientific community free access to certain data takes on a controversial air. New international agreements must be reached regarding which kinds of data will be “given” to science. New regulatory infrastructures are also currently evolving to govern not only the value of information but its distribution and exchange. In the light of the growth of international computer networks, definitions of propriety and copyright, as well as value, will be of paramount importance. POLICY ISSUES The international community in the 1990s is facing a number of complex and difficult policy issues which must be resolved, or at least adequately addressed, to facilitate international cooperation. These issues include: The Principle of Free and Open Access To Data. The Principle of free and open access to data has been a long- standing policy in the international meteorological community beginning with the creation of the International Meteorological Organization (IMO) in 1873.
