Bill Ablondi of Parks Associates discusses his panel regarding the Smart Grid at the 2010 Broadband Properties Summit. In this brief video, Ablondi talks about the Smart Grid as a way of running more efficient businesses and governments. A sort of primordial soup is how he characterizes the current state of the Smart Grid with opportunities for all, including the potential for the creation of a new segment that he calls Energy Management Service Providers.  Ablondi points out that consumers do value the benefits brought about by what the Smart Grid can bring, which is reinforced by this blog post on the Parks Associates web site. 

This interview is sort of a preview of what can be expected at the 2010 Parks Associates Connections Conference, June 8-10 in Santa Clara, CA.
