Digital Divide[edit]
Smith's book Digital Corporate Citizenship (University of Indiana Press) described efforts by 54 high tech companies to alter their management structures with the aim of “closing the Digital Divide.”[citation needed] In 1999 Smith joined with Bill Gates Sr, to lead a Seattle conference held on the day prior to World Trade Organization’s conference. After the conference, Smith moved from Seattle to Cambridge, Massachusetts to lead an interdisciplinary coalition focused on closing digital divide.[citation needed] In Cambridge, his framework was incorporated into DigitalDivide.org.
After serving as a fellow of Harvard's Fairbank Center for China Studies, Smith was also invited many times to China to advise the Chinese government on its plan to extend broadband technology to its impoverished Western provinces.[citation needed] Smith lectured at several China-funded government forums, which resulting in his being invited to establish a three-year program on digital divide at the Department of Information Management of Peking University, China's top ranked university.[citation needed]
Smith was invited to teach science and technology policy in Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at National University of Singapore.[6] In Asia, Smith developed a decade-long partnership with Ilham A Habibie,[7] the son of a former President of Republic of Indonesia, whose father was the science and technology minister for 15 years. With Habibie's support, Smith gained political traction and funding needed to formulate the model of "Meaningful Broadband." Incorporating a technical team from The World Bank, Smith wrote a number of reports that produced a road map for the implementation of Meaningful Broadband as a "bottom-up" approach to socio-economic, cultural and environmental development in Indonesian regions.[citation needed]
