Video Interview with Len Hause – Using Internet Strategies to Build the new PowerGrid

 

We’re speaking today with Len Hause, Internetologist and founder of MashBrain where he consults on Internet marketing and technology strategies. Today we’re talking about the Transformation of the Grid. I’ve known Len since the early 1990′s where we worked in IT at Motorola. Len and I where involved in dozens of Intranet and Internet-based projects during the early days of the enterprise learning how to use the Internet.

There’s been quite a bit of discussion lately about the nation’s electrical grid, from aging components, demand exceeding output, discontinuity from sector to sector to potential for terrorist attacks against it.  So, I thought a conversation with Len would be helpful to get the bigger picture of how the lessons learned in building the Internet could be applied to a new generation power grid for the nation.

  1. - How has the the transformation and maturity of the Internet affected other sectors? What analogies can we draw between the Internet and the electrical grid?
  2. – What are the driving forces and technologies?
  3. – Who are the players?
  4. – What are some of the initial changes we will see?
  5. – What is the scope of the transformation?
  6. -What role will open source, or internet standards-based technologies play?
  7. – What new markets will emerge?
  8. – What role will Social Media play in this transformation?

    Hey, Tom! Your Len Hause video appears to be broken … on Blip site, as well. Whassup? And do you have a decent digital headshot of Len that you could e-mail to me? I wanna make a cool Smart-Grid-themed Twitter background for him.
