What are “Smart Communities”?

• “A smart community is a community that has made a conscious effort to use information technology to transform life and work within its region in significant and fundamental, rather than incremental ways” From: The World Foundation on Smart Communities, http://www.smartcommunities.org/about_faq.htm

• Smart communities are real places inhabited by real

people (not just technology)

• A successful smart community can be built from the top down, or as a grassroots effort, but active involvement from every sector of the community is essential…

Response to i-Waterfront’s Billion Bits/Second

Todd Sands, Ph.D Centre for Smart Community Innovation

The answer is all in the “bits” Network transport happens in bits/sec 1010110010010010110110000101001 Storage is different? Use Bytes 1 byte (B) storage = 8 bits

How much a network can transport (or store) is more about what the content requirements are!

Voice Image Data Real-time video Combinations of these

require more bandwidth

Our Future – Do We Know?

• We are at the dawn of a new era

• The World is a much “flatter” place

• Our economy is impacted as a result of global change as a result of “connectedness”













Question:

Why connect everyone in i-Waterfront at 10 billion bits/sec?

Answer: “Why not!”






“…study ranks Canada 19th worldwide in overall Internet access.” Harvard University Berkman Center Feb 2010

“If we do not act with haste, the innovations that could employ our future work force could well pass us by” Globe and Mail editorial Feb 2010

“Governments must regard the internet as basic infrastructure - just like roads, waste and water” - Dr Hamadoun Toure, Secretary-general of the International Telecommunication Union

Cost of Computing

• hardware • + software • + network • + power • + people • + carbon • = cost of computing
