<p>As the Internet has become more and more crucial to daily life and the economy, coupled with growing concerns about competition online, there has been increasing discussion about mandating interoperability among software services and systems. The technical interface required to achieve such an outcome is often implicit, and one of the main aims of this paper is to make it explicit and bring its implications into the open. </p><p>This mandating of open interfaces is important, because – done well – it brings economic, social, and technical benefits, reduces the risk of market failure and stimulates sustainable innovation. But done poorly, it can threaten these outcomes and jeopardize other policy goals, such as privacy, security, and the resilience of systems. <br></p>
