The creation of a “smart grid” for electricity conservation may lead to parallel telecommunications networks by both utilities and traditional telephone communications providers; whether or not this was a positive development was debated at the Broadband Breakfast Club on Tuesday.

The event featured Jennifer Thomas Alcott, Telework!VA’s program manager; Cynthia Brumfeld, Director of Research, Utilities Telecom Council; Kevin Moss, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, BT Americas; Steven Ruth, Professor, George Mason University School of Public Policy; and Donald Thoma, Executive Vice President Marketing at the satellite company Iridium.
