WASHINGTON, November 12, 2009 – Broadband Census News LLC on Thursday released, for FREE, the full-length video of the Broadband Breakfast Club event on November 10, 2009: “Setting the Table for the National Broadband Plan: The Environment and Telecommuting.”

The event is available on BroadbandBreakfast.com at the [following link](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/2009/11/what-the-smart-grid-and-telecommuting-mean-for-the-environment-at-broadband-breakfast-club).

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.
