The document discusses nurturing a digital civil society by focusing on community ownership of digital assets and enterprises. It provides examples of past community asset activism like community ownership of hospitals, piers, and bridges. It argues that in today's digital economy, communities could own fiber networks, wireless spectrum, server farms, and other digital infrastructure for the benefit of local enterprises and citizens. The goal is to develop a permanent digital culture through common ownership of important digital resources.
