The article reports on focus group research conducted in Greece. This qualitative research concerns Internet policy and regulation in particular and examines the dialogue of policy and regulation with societyćs culture as reported by users and non-users of the Internet. The research finds that the perceived role of Internet policy and regulation passes through societyćs everyday culture, with significant implications for the implementation, efficiency and future course of Internet policy and regulation. These findings aim to fill in the relevant gap in the literature which often neglects the interlinkages between society's cultural traits and mindsets and the practices applied in the complex field of policy and regulation for the information societyČlanek ugotavlja, da v informacijski družbi in v zvezi s pojavi, kot so digitalne delitve, poteka dialog družbe in njene kulture s prakso odločanja. Članek poroča o raziskavi v fokusni skupini v Grčiji. Kvalitativna raziskava se nanaša na internetno politiko in regulacijo, proučuje pa dialog politike in regulacije s kulturo družbe z vidika uporabnikov in neuporabnikov interneta. Raziskava ugotavlja, da se zaznava vloge politike interneta in njegove regulacije oblikuje skozi vsakdanjo družbeno kulturo, kar ima znatne posledice za izvajanje, učinkovitost in prihodnje politike in regulacijo interneta. Te ugotovitve naj bi zapolnile vrzel v literaturi, ki pogosto zanemarja povezave med kulturnimi značilnostmi in miselnostjo ter praksami na kompleksnem področju politike in regulacije za informacijsko družboTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
