How CISCO wants to be the Smarts in Smart Grid

A follow up on a previous post featuring videos about how IT firms such as CISCO, Intel and IBM are jockeying to be essential actors of smart grid implementations worldwide. This time another video by CISCO, you can tell their ambitions at being at the core of future smart grid technology is not going anywhere. Simply put, CISCO wants the smart grid to be IP based. It makes a lot of sense, IP infrastructure has proven both resilient and remarkably suitable for mass deployment. Just a thought, any electronic device in the near future could have IP and networking capability on top of their native MAC addresses. Domotics are going to be big in the coming decade or two as this built in capability in hardware will make it that much easier to network and administer them locally or remotely.
