The objective is a thousand fold reduction: consume as much power in 3 years as conventional networks require in a single day. This efficiency target appears attainable based on research from Bell Labs that determined that today\u2019s information and communication technology (ICT) networks have the potential to be 10,000 times more efficient than they are today.<\/p>\n

Bell Labs has recruited founding members for the consortium from industry, academia and government research groups as well as service providers, including AT&T;, China Mobile, Swisscom and Telefonica.<\/p>\n
