Next-generation technology drives economic development:
• Integrated, neutral umbrella structure to ensure focus.
• Identification of core application capabilities and creation of Playbook.
• Entrepreneurial focus since larger companies are not entrenched.
• Engagement of maker spaces, local schools, libraries, and arts
institutions.
• Engagement of diverse civic constituencies, including tech community,
citizen users, subject-matter experts, and mentors.
• Unlocking of often-hidden capabilities within local universities and
companies.
REASONS FOR COMMUNITY SUCCESSES
8. 8
“In the 1970s, many doubted there were
uses for even 50 kbs Internet. Today
application explorers are once again
pushing the envelope of possibility in
ways that will transform … And, the
value of a network is proportional to the
square of the number of connected
users.” Bob Metcalfe
Ethernet Inventor

Editor's Notes
We’re at a time in our country’s history when we need to build the interstate system all over again. But if we truly built the internet’s ultrafast interstate now, it would be like having an auto interstate for a population that only drives horses and buggies or Tin Lizzies. We aim to “ignite” and connect the various parties in building truly compelling, next-gen applications that can run on top of the ultra-fast networks.
To do this, US Ignite is the “+”s in this equation. We are the conveners of the communities and their needs with the providers of new technologies that address those needs – and we coordinate to help match the right resources to create the applications
US Ignite’s priority areas are healthcare, education, advanced manufacturing, energy, and
