Dedicated or allocated spectrum is one of the best things the FCC could do to make energy grids smarter. As for using the Internet, I don’t understand the point he’s trying to make – what he’s saying is pretty much nonsense. The Internet is a set of communication protocols that are physical layer agnostic. You can run IP over copper, fiber and yes, RF. The problem utilities have in smart grid communications isn’t lack of good protocols – it’s lack of a physical and transport layer that reaches every point on the grid and has enough information carrying capacity to do the job.
