Abstract:
In this paper, we will discuss (1) past, present, and future of the community network in the United States
with an analytic framework of the community network lifecycle (2) planning and implementation of the
INVIL project, a South Korean version of the community network; (3) similarities and dissimilarities
between those two for comparison in terms of expected benefits, and (4) recommendations based on our
analysis. Contributions of this paper are two folds: helping the South Korean government to improve the
INVIL project and other governments to learn lessons on similar projects as part of their e-government
programs.
