Barry Gander discusses how communities can adopt the "Seven Habits of Highly Intelligent Communities" to thrive in today's digital economy. The seven habits are: 1) having a strategic vision for technology use, 2) providing open access to broadband, 3) ensuring ubiquitous connectivity, 4) deploying ultra-high-speed broadband networks, 5) using analytics to understand patterns, 6) focusing on high-value industries, and 7) fostering collaboration. Gander analyzes examples of communities that have successfully applied these habits, and argues that chief information officers can help communities develop the necessary digital infrastructure and skills to create jobs, drive innovation, and improve quality of life.

Editor's Notes
- #11 What is it about us, that drives us to connect with each other - to tear down the walls between us? It is such a strong urge, that we could call it a “compulsion”. Look at the numbers, about the rise of ‘portable communications’. People want to stay plugged in! There are more mobile subscribers than there are PCs, phones, Internet users and newspaper readers - put together!
- #13 Australia ‘Intelligent Continent’ $50-b France $30-b Google’s Gigabit Community, Kansas City Chattanooga’s 6,000 miles of fibre-optic cable for one-gigabit speed to any resident; its revenues are being lifted by extensive municipal smart grid services. the true benefits of municipal high-speed networks are not the consumer-friendly baubles such as high-speed video downloads, HDTV and the like, but the vast range of possibilities they open. Over the fibre network is a wireless mesh that allows government, so often wary of innovation, to try new approaches. Police in Chattanooga have vastly expanded their communications and mobile data analysis. Traffic lights will soon be able to respond in real time to changing traffic patterns. Rubbish can be collected more efficiently. EPB can avoid, or minimise, power cuts during storms, and can charge its customers more accurately and transparently. This sort of network can improve a city’s operations while broadening its tax base. Results like that are well worth a dunk in a shark tank.
