|
Definition
they were infrastructural rather than individual
1. opt into smart; who do apps/ packages offer?
Market value that is being added
When do new tech really help create vs. when do they
create problems of their own
2. Roll your own network; states/ lobbies too caught up in these policies
States get out
Locals need to experiment
Community owned
3/4. connectivity and the city's web
Infrastructure first
It should be OPEN SOURCE (which means anybody can
set the code, essentially crowd sourcing)
Community owned so it will connect everyone |
