<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=399334515-31052009>Sorry, 
I sent this too quick... What I wanted to add here in the context of the 
Governance list is that, reading through the communities identified, it would 
appear that several of these communities achieved their status by 
developing alternative "governance" strategies in their local contexts i.e. the 
existing Internet/Broadband suppliers weren't willing/able to provide them with 
the service they thought they needed so they went out and figured out ways to 
do it themselves... with some very positive consequences it would 
appear...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=399334515-31052009>So my 
question is, from an IG perspective, what barriers would need to be removed or 
what structures would need to be put in place to provide these types of 
opportunities to the very large range of those communities/regions/countries at 
the "margins" (whatever or wherever those margins might be) . These are 
communities who aren't satisfied with the conventional approaches to Internet 
service that the conventional service providers are offering. A further 
question, to what degree are the mechanisms that are being put in place (or 
being promoted) for Internet governance likely to enable or inhibit the kind of 
initiatives that seem to be represented here and the range of other related 
initiatives and attempts to obtain and make useful Internet service at the 
margins or for currently under-served populations?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

        2009</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN><BR>The following communities, drawn 
        from the Smart21 of 2009, were named to the Top Seven based on analysis 
        of their nominations by a team of independent academic experts:  
        <BR>
        <UL>
          <LI><STRONG>Bristol, Virginia, USA</STRONG>. As a first time honoree, 
          Bristol made an impact after taking on incumbent telcos in court and 
          the state legislature to win the right to deploy a fiber network 
          called OptiNet.  Conceived as a backbone serving government and 
          schools, OptiNet has grown into a fiber-to-the-premises network for 
          business and residents in Bristol and four neighboring counties.  
          It has also attracted more than $50 million in private investment, 
          including the region's first technology employers, and improved rural 
          education and healthcare by connecting local providers to leading 
          institutions.   
          <LI><STRONG>Eindhoven, Netherlands</STRONG>. The Eindhoven 
          metropolitan area (a 2008 Smart21) has long been the industrial heart 
          of the Netherlands.  Through a public-private collaboration 
          called Brainport, the region is ramping up its knowledge economy to 
          maintain and accelerate growth in a hyper-competitive global market, 
          while at the same time coping with an aging population and shrinking 
          workforce.  Among more than 40 public-private projects are an 
          award-winning coop that has brought FTTP and a broadband culture of 
          use to the suburb of Neunen, and the SKOOL outsourced IT management 
          system for public schools. 
          <LI><STRONG>Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada</STRONG>. For most of 
          its history, government and education were the economic mainstays of 
          Fredericton (a 2008 Top Seven).  When it could not get broadband 
          from the private sector, Fredericton founded the e-Novations coop, 
          which deployed a fiber ring that spurred competition, giving the city 
          a 70% penetration rate at speeds of up to 18 Mbps.  The next step 
          was the Fred-eZone wireless network, which provides free WiFi service 
          across 65% of the city.  The combination of broadband, 
          entrepreneurship and Fredericton's universities has powered the 
          creation of over 12,000 jobs. 
          <LI><STRONG>Issy-les-Moulineaux, France</STRONG>. Issy-les-Moulineax 
          (a 2006 Top Seven) became the industrial zone of Paris in the early 
          20th Century only to suffer de-industrialization in the post-war 
          years.  Beginning in 1980, a visionary mayor focused policy on 
          creating an innovative, IT-based knowledge economy, implementing 
          e-government, outsourcing IT needs, and taking advantage of 
          liberalization to attract competitive fiber carriers deploying 
          cost-effective broadband.  Public-private innovation includes a 
          cyber-kindergarten for children, cyber tearooms for older citizens, 
          citizen e-participation in decision-making, a successful business 
          incubator and ICT-based real estate projects. 
          <LI><STRONG>Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada</STRONG>. Twenty years ago, 
          the Moncton region was a former railroad and industrial hub facing a 
          doubtful future.  Since then, this bilingual community has become 
          a major Canadian customer contact and back office center, and built a 
          "near-shore" IT outsourcing industry.  Private-sector carriers 
          have collaborated in the city's growth as a telecom-centric economy, 
          and helped power the addition of 20,000 new jobs since the early 
          1990s.  
          <LI><STRONG>Stockholm, Sweden</STRONG>. In the mid-90s, Stockholm, the 
          economic and political capital of Sweden, established a company called 
          Stokab to build an open-access fiber network.  Today, the 4,500 
          km network connects more than 90 competing service providers to 
          government and business customers.  Though the city already has a 
          98% broadband penetration rate, Stokab will also provide FTTP access 
          to over 95,000 low-income households in public housing by the end of 
          2009.  Stockholm also manages KISTA Science City, housing more 
          than 1,400 companies, plus a support program for start-up and 
          early-stage companies.  
          <LI><STRONG>Tallinn, Estonia</STRONG>. Three-time Top Seven community 
          Tallinn has risen from post-Soviet economic ruin to become an economic 
          tiger largely on the strength of ICT.  Making creative use of 
          people and funding, Tallinn computerized its schools and deployed 
          widespread WiFi as well as nearly 700 public access kiosks.  The 
          city also developed a large-scale digital skills training program, 
          extensive e-government, and an award-winning smart ID card.  
          Through partnerships, it developed high-tech parks including Ulemiste 
          City, Tallinn Technology Park and Cooperative Cyber Defence 
          Center.  Rated #2 worldwide for economic potential by the 
          Financial Times, Tallinn is home to half of Estonia's companies, which 
          receive 77% of the country's foreign direct investment. </LI></UL>
