The Smart Grid, in large part, sits at the intersection of energy, IT and telecommunications markets. Based on initial research, roughly 70 percent of executives at Smart Grid startups have backgrounds in wireless communications and/or IT hardware/software. A significant sign that many of the “smarts” in the Smart Grid are transitioning from different industries."
