How do you know when your project has a future? When one of the fathers of the Internet joins to help with the design. This just happened to the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP), a federally sponsored, multi-disciplinary standards body that held meetings during late May at the ConnectivityWeek conference in San Jose, Calif.
Vint Cerf, one of the key architects of the Internet–who now works at Google ( GOOG – news – people ) as a vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist–was elected to the SGIP last November. At ConnectivityWeek, an annual conference of smart grid participants including the SGIP, Cerf gave a keynote speech offering his advice about how to design the smart grid so it can be as successful as the Internet.
