The Broadband Economy is the product of the build-out of low-cost, high-speed
communications and information technology on both the global and local levels
making Intelligent Communities possible today.

Broadband Economy
! Global Broadband

" Connecting economic centers worldwide, enabling…
• Collaboration and trade across time zones and borders with low or no
transaction cost
• Melding financial markets and making investment portable
• Making intellectual property and knowledge work dominant economic

13. Characteristics of the
Broadband Economy
! For economic purposes, the hardworking people of Mumbai, Shenzen and Jakarta
live next door to the hardworking people of New York, Melbourne and
Vancouver– but have much lower costs and living standards
! It’s a “FLAT”, “SPIKEY”, and “CONNECTED” WORLD :
" Freidman: Impacts and opportunities of Global Sourcing, Administrative and
Labour Arbitrage
" Florida and Porter: Mega-regions and Clusters of knowledge and
commercialization
" ICF: Connected, Networks, Virtual Missions and Global Partnerships
! Supercharged competition between global cities leads to…
" Falling prices of hard and soft goods, which challenges established producers
while benefiting consumers
" Accelerated product lifecycles as competitors vie for advantage in the market
" Efforts to move “up the value chain”

14. What is an Intelligent Community?
! From a Global Perspective:
Intelligent Communities –
" Recognize the impact of broadband and its role as an
essential utility for job creation and economic growth in the
new BROADBAND ECONOMY
" Work to create a culture of use among citizens, businesses
and government to stimulate economic development and
political participation
" Ensure that low-income and at-risk populations can all
participate in the broadband economy
" Transformation occurs at every level of live, work and
play

15. What is an Intelligent Community?
Intelligent Communities know that being “wired”
or “wireless” isn’t enough…
… it needs to be a more comprehensive approach
to understanding and building a new
community-wide eco-system :
" Intelligent Communities respond to the challenge of
local economic development in the broadband economy
" Work to maintain a high quality of life - as places
where the next generation can find a good job, make a
home and raise their children
" Leverage their unique qualities and traditional strengths
in a new economic environment…

“… it’s my destiny, and I won’t wait for others to
create it for me…”
Being part of broadband economy means:
" Being connected to the global economy: anywhere, anytime!
" Everyone is adapting (individuals, businesses and institutions)
and innovating to take advantage of changing economic
opportunities
" Producing and sustaining economic growth through
transforming and leveraging local strengths for global use
" Recognizing geographic location is no longer an obstacle

Creating A Knowledge Workforce
! Knowledge-based Workforce
" Create, attract and retain a workforce that can perform
“knowledge work” (in universities; primary schools; factories
& R&D labs)
! Ubiquitous broadband suggests universal deployment
and use.
" requires a complete overhaul in our collective ability and
interest to ensure that everyone in our society can take
advantage of broadband applications and services.
" this further requires that we educate and make available to
everyone the tools to utilize and ultimately purchase these
services to achieve this kind of prosperity.

ubiquitous demand.

21. Intelligent Community Indicators
Innovation and Creativity
! Changing people’s lives; efficient services; e-
government; community culture of use
! Innovation occurs when the environment is
created for creativity and ideas to flourish and
the resources and technologies are accessible
(and affordable) to enable them to happen.

22. Intelligent Community Indicators
Digital Inclusion
! Ensure that the benefits of the new economy reach all rungs of the
economic ladder
! Digital and Broadband Economy is fundamentally transforming
societies, their economies and their cultures around the world.
! But populations are becoming increasingly divided between those
with access to technologies, education and the jobs and lifestyle that
they offer and those without.
! Unequal adoption of technology usually has had massive
ramifications to the health of the local or regional economy and its
related social and cultural advancements.
! Brookings Institute & Gartner Dataquest study:
" Impact of ubiquitous broadband at 10 mbps, $500 billion in
North America and globally $10 Trillion

previously denied access”.
