This document discusses plans for a smart gigabit community project. It will involve drawing on technical community innovation to develop unprecedented services with better security. The project will establish a "Digital Town Square" interconnecting various networks to function as a local "city brain" for fast response. It aims to shift thinking to true gigabit applications and real-time interactions through software defined networks with slicing and virtualization. The goal is to lay the foundation for attracting innovators and fostering a sustainable ecosystem around gigabit applications.
