VentureBeat: Trilliant, IBM join forces to help utilities smart up their grids

  • Jake Cashman · 3 months ago
    Trilliant is, in a word a LAME DUCK! They missed their chance to "smarten" the grid when they tried, and failed, to make their 'network' talk intelligently with other devices out there. When are these companies going to realize that they should report NEWSWORTHY news, like a DEAL - not just that they have found a new partner to suck their resources dry, and to make something out of nothing. Trilliant needs a warm injection of people who care, who are passionate and who can actually get products into the marketplace that work TODAY....Not just a year or two from now. Good luck there, IBM! You'll need it - and another $2M to invest in companies worth investing in, like Current, or Itron - oh, wait, they aren't in need of any capital!!!

    I think the author meant to say "IBM sunk $2 billion...." not $2 million.
