The phrase 'information super-highway' is a means of descriping a quick way of accessing a plethora of information available to the public. It was not meant to be taken in the literal sence, "..all Internet users should be licensed so surfers on the information highway are as accountable as drivers on the road." How is 'surfing the web' remotely similar to driving? I don't think my life would suddenly become in danger if I were to 'recklessly surf'. Or what if I had my liscence revoked because I had too many points? Maybe I'd just have to obey surfing speeds.
