...juice accordingly; smart meters are already being tested out by utilities in California and Texas. These changes would also help utilities even out the peaks and valleys that come with providing power. "The hope is that we'll be able to actively regulate our grid to improve efficiency," says Brian Wynne, president of the D.C.-based Electric Drive Transportation Association. "There is tremendous potential...
...those areas where it's not feasible to extend fiber cables - sparsely populated rural regions, say - O3b's satellite network will shift information around wirelessly, closing the digital divide still further.
