Nick Sinai, Energy and Environment Dir, FCC Broadband Strategy
Nick Sinai is Dir. of Energy and Environment for the FCC’s Broadband Strategy plan. He talks about how the requirements of the Smart Grid will affect the plan. How smart will the grid be? How much bandwidth is required to support it? Who will build it? Will the Smart Grid be based on Internet protocols to ensure interoperability? Will it use the broadband infrastructure or the existing information infrastructure created by the electric companies? Should the energy industry be disrupted (in the good sense)?
