The technology must be able to guarantee an acceptable degree of security and privacy for users. Any data which a user enters should be secure from outside manipulation or access. Community users must be able to access the network. Because computer ownership and on-line access may be limited, an alternative delivery mechanism like a neighborhood network is needed so that all members of the community can get access.

To ensure the success of electronic commerce in your community, different participants are necessary. Community businesses, organizations and residents must be involved. They know the community and its needs the best and are the main consumers. Banks, computer technology companies, and telecommunications companies, which represent vital components of the network, can aid in its design.
