My understanding is that politics within the SGIP precluded them from  
saying that. One thing we should do is get a better handle on those  
politics; I suspect that the Enernex consultant is not completely  
unbiased (he champions the idea that the grid has "points of  
interoperability" aka gateways in it rather than general  
communications interoperability), and there are probably others who  
even if they are up for general use of IP would like to use the IP  
that they have deployed.
