Robert Bell, Co-Founder and Executive Director, the Intelligent Community Forum, NY
What is an intelligent community, and what is it’s impact at the local level, particularly in rural communities? In the broadband economy, adaptability outweighs legacy; skills and an e-literate citizenry are key to greater participation; and innovation – not location and creates a competitive advantage. |
