Social Ware
Social media are based on the ability of the users to set
up networks using social software (socialware)
The evolution of the web makes possible answering to
the emerging needs to design services for the citizens,
granting the access to the information and supporting
the participation inside the processes of taking decision.

Digital Territory - The trial area: Valli Orco e Soana
11 small municipalities 616.06 km2 8,300 inhabitants (density: 13.5 inh/km2) about 15,000 tourists every year
The trial area has been selected in order to maximize the transferability model into other regional areas, even with a different size.
28
Digital Territory: Main Objectives
Main objectives:
Convert the area into a “digital territory”: an open-air lab Trial digital convergence and its sustainability Develop a replicable model to overcome digital divide
11 small rural municipalities have been provided with: wireless broadband connectivity multimedia User-Generated Content system for IP-TV IP-radio and blog innovative services
Started in 2005 Operating in 2008
29
Digital Territory - Partners
“A business – citizens - government partnership”
The heart of the innovation model is the cooperation set-up among public and private players, involved in the planning, set-up and experimentation
30
Digital Territory - The Main Features (infrastructures)
existing assets owned by local organisations underutilized dark fibre TV-radio trellises
wireless technologies HiperLAN, Wi-Fi, DVB-T and DVB-H
For the delivery of broadband services, the project exploited the convergence of:
A pervasive broadband wireless network with ADSL-like connection speed.
(at least 2Mbps downstream and 512kbps upstream)
31
NETWORK: Architecture (2)
Pre-existing Optical fibre backbone, connecting the electricity supplier stations to the regional backbone (Wi-PIE)
Pre-existing TV-radio trellises
32
NETWORK: Architecture (2)
Pre-existing Optical fibre backbone Wireless connection fibre to pre-existing trellises Wireless contribution network

Digital Territory: A remote management system
35
Pilot users’ groups
Broadband connectivity provided to 45 distributed points: PA buildings churches, libraries, tourist offices Gran Paradiso National Park facilities Small local businesses, hotels, restaurants schools; post offices; astronomical observatory Civil Protection offices
9 hot-spots for tourists and nomadic users (more than 80 registered users; 810 accesses in 6 months)
1 alpine refuge has been selected to test innovative services (seismic and weather monitoring; webcam streaming; hot-spot Wi-Fi)

Statistics
One year’s trial:
20 citizens trained to produce contents for TV and radio
One local secondary school run a journalism course and was provided with a radio-laboratory to produce contents
The TV collected more than 70 episodes
The radio collected more than 30 episodes and music 24/24
The blog had 70 registered users, 150 posts, 40 comments

A sustainable model
The overall design of infrastructure, services and content production follows the principles of:
technology convergence
re-usability
sustainability
The network and services experimented are now becoming patrimony of the area and will be managed by a local business operator, for the network management and the broadband services delivery (10 years authorization).

INFRASTRUCTURES
Technology integration and complementarity innovative + “traditional”, wired + wireless technologies to deploy connectivity in very remote areas which, would be cut off from TELCOs’ commercial offers.
Re-use of existing facilities (trellises, under-utilised optical fiber, …) to produce the lowest environmental impact and cost for the local community
SERVICES
Development and experimentation of innovative services to make a concrete and valuable use of the network
Social media LITERACY Local community involvement from local bodies to
users, thus contributing to the network and services design, set-up, experimentation and improvement
