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
