5. Strategic Direction Smart Grid is Convergence with Power & ICT
Network convergence, Service convergence and Terminal convergence
To support Interoperability and Security requirements, highly secured and QoS guaranteed IP-based telecommunications network should be taken into account for delivery of data
Home Network could be reused for Home Area Network
Not only Electricity but also Gas, Water, Heating, etc.

6. Challenges
ICT systems in Power Industry vs. ICT systems of ICT Industry
Purpose, Capability, Openness, etc.
Too many standards vs. Absent standard
SDOs : ITU, IEC, JTC1, IEEE, ETSI, ANSI, …
Areas : Information, Telecommunications, Electricity, …

7. Next Steps/Actions
Harmonization and Collaboration to select & develop the appropriate standards among;
Markets, Industries, Organizations, …
