3. Introduction

4. Digital Cities://Introduction Digital Community, Digital City, Smart Community, Information City or E-City It�s to build an arena in which people in regional communities can interact and share knowledge, experiences, and mutual interests. It integrates urban information (both achievable and real time) and create public spaces in the Internet for people living / visiting the cities A connected community that combines broadband communications infrastructure, flexible, service-oriented computing infrastructure based on open industry standards

5. Digital Cities ://Introduction Innovative services to meet the needs of governments and their employees, citizens and businesses Can be extended from a city district up to a multi-million metropolis Wireless infrastructure is a key element of Digital City infrastructure Requires hard-wired broadband infrastructure Provides interoperable, Internet-based government services that enable ubiquitous connectivity to transform key government processes

6. Actuality

7. Digital Cities ://Actuality Digital City services are accessible through wireless mobile devices and are enabled by services oriented enterprise architecture including Web services, the Extensible Markup Language (XML), and mobilized software applications

8. Digital Cities ://Actuality The Age from Australia has ranked the top Tech capitals of the world, based on a combination of factors such as cost and availability of broadband connectivity, wireless internet access, technology adoption, government support, education and technology culture Seoul (South Korea) Singapore (Singapore) Tokyo (Japan) Hong Kong (China) Stockholm (Sweden) San Francisco & Silicon Valley (United States) New York (United States) Beijing (China)

9. Digital Cities ://Actuality Broadband is available in 4 out of 5 Seoul households and costs just $40 a month for speeds up to 100Mbps. 9 out of 10 residents also have mobile phones. Digital mobile TV broadcasting, or Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, was launched in South Korea in 2005 and nearly 2 million Koreans now use the service to watch TV on their phones while riding trains and buses. Last December the Singapore Government said it would roll out free wireless broadband across the island and more than 400,000 Singaporeans already have registered for the service. The government also plans to deliver wired broadband speeds of up 1Gbps by 2012. Japan had nearly 8 million fibre-to-the-home broadband subscribers in December 2006 and, according to the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, 75 per cent of Japanese residents enjoy 100Mbps fibre-optic broadband at $30 a month. Etc.

12. My Guess

13. Digital Cities ://My Guess Cities Auto-Traffic System This system means all our traffic in the city will be controlled by super main computers. And all our traffic don�t need drivers. Public Info-Share System This system means we can share various information at home even don�t need use any computer. Public Uniform Supply System This system means all selective providers will supply any materials we need to our home directly. Etc.
