ADVANCEMENTS IN ELECTRICITY

ADVANCEMENTS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS

If Alexander Graham Bell were transported to 21st century, he would not recognize modern telephony components such as cell phones, texting, towers, etc., while Thomas Edison, one of the grid’s key early architects, would be totally familiar with the grid.

Smart Grid Policy

• Stimulus funds• National Broadband Plan• State PUCs
