<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>

& New York City, January 21, 2009)</STRONG> – The Intelligent
Community Forum announced today its list of the Top Seven Communities of
2009 during a luncheon ceremony at PTC ‘09. The Top Seven announcement
is the second stage of ICF's annual Intelligent Community awards
cycle. Gaining a place among the Top Seven is a major achievement
as well as a step toward even greater recognition for communities
working to create prosperity and social inclusion in what ICF terms the
"Broadband Economy." The cycle concludes in New York City on May
15, 2009 during ICF’s annual Building the Broadband Economy Summit
(www.icfsummit.com), where one of the Top Seven will succeed the Gangnam
District of Seoul, South Korea as Intelligent Community of the
Year.</SPAN></SPAN><BR></DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><SPAN style="COLOR: #980b1a"><SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">The Top Seven of
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>
