We’re coming up an important milestone in the life of G.hn. It’s my personal hope that we’ll get the official go-ahead to be “consented” as the official, global standard that will make the vision of the wired home network a reality.
Aside from stating the obvious benefits of the wired home network, I see G.hn as being a catalyst to improving our environment, reducing carbon emissions, and lowering the cost of energy.
You see, once our wired home networks are wired to the electronic grid, the way we heat, cool and monitor our homes could totally change.
When my home network is on the grid, I truly become part of a global village that can easily share energy resources on an as-needed basis. Let’s say I’m on vacation, and my solar cells on my roof-top are loaded with energy to the max. I’d be happy to off-load, and share (or sell) my stored energy with my neighbor across the street or across the State of Texas.
As long as my wired home network gives me the A-OK that the temperature is just right and my home is secure, even when I am away, the only thing about keeping up with The Jones’ will be sharing some electronic love as they need it.
In the next few weeks, my life and my energy needs are going to change. You see, very soon, I am going to be an empty nester. My last child is going off to college, and my home is going to consume less energy.
As long as my G.hn-based, wired home network keeps my home in good shape, I can now become an exporter (and seller) of excess energy that my home creates. This vision is only far-fetched if G.hn does not gain consent.
So to the powers that be, when you cast your vote, think of the legacy your are about to leave behind, and the impact your vote will make, leaving the planet a better and safer place to be.
Everywire is a blog that will talk about G.hn and related wired networking news.
