Why Open Source for the Smart Grid Needs a Kick-Start
,----[ Quote ]
| But the benefits of open source for the
| smart grid could be significant. Of course
| not everything needs to be based on open
| source, but in areas like the home, where
| the power grid meets consumer electronics
| and broadband networks, having a open
| source platform could lead to much more
| innovation, interoperability between
| devices and networks, and low cost
| development, than a closed system.
