AT&T and SmartSynch Announce Partnership. AT&T and SmartSynch recently announced a partnership that combines AT&T’s new service plans with SmartSynch’s SmartMetering™ solutions to bring smart grid technology to the home. According to noted industry expert and Smart Grid Newsletter editor Jesse Berst:

"This is very good news for the industry and for utilities. It is absolutely essential that we learn safe, secure ways to share communications infrastructure. As a country and as an industry, we cannot afford to build out a separate, high-bandwidth communications system dedicated solely to the smart grid. With AT&T taking Smart Grid seriously, we can hope for some competition from other big carriers – and that could ultimately save many tens of millions in network infrastructure and maintenance costs."
