cg forgot to sat that the initials stand for National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the folks that help the rural space neighborhoods enjoy electricity at a cost near what the city folk do. That and internet are an uphill struggle in the age of ruthless "efficiency."

That said, I find no refs to SECURITY as a top priority, expect perhaps SAFE by IBM. It could be a name, it could be a factor well integrated and reflected by the name. Beyond my sussing ability, not my payscale, much higher.

My thoughts and hopes are here: can Chinese schoolboys roam around and change the settings? will it work with system upgrades as we move from central output mega plants to mesh-grid ( or will the equip and costs of such help defend the present system and players- "you could join, if you could afford to" sort of conditions)

Why did the U.S. fail to keep up in mobile bandspeed? competing systems! prices are higher and service is slower than most any. So it's good to see some concern for getting it right before we have to come back and fix it - for once. And the eternal, excuse my pesimism about timelines!, "When?"

With all of this talk of smart grid standards I would like to point out Multispeak. http://www.multispeak.org

It is an industry wide standard funded by NRECA. There are far more utilities and vendors that have adopted this then any other IP based smart grid standard.
