This document summarizes a presentation about doing business globally and working with governments. It discusses key Indian legal issues companies should be aware of such as information technology laws. It also talks about opportunities through joining the Internet Infrastructure Coalition, such as branding, networking, advocacy events and reducing costs that individual lobbying would be. Membership is presented as a worthwhile investment that allows companies' voices to be represented on important issues for a relatively low cost.
