Network upgrading
Utilities face a revolution as deep as the one 
telecommunications faced in the last two 
decades 
 Trend towards datification of business and 
leisure 
 Domotics and the internet of things will give 
consumers high control over their consumption 
 More widely, information flows allow for a higher 
integration of all kind of services (smartcities)
Utilities need to capitalize their current 
advantages before they erode. Even if that 
means hurting current businesses 
 Early positioning (joint ventures, start-up 
support) may be done at a small cost, 
compared to the impact of not acting
