On January 11, 2010, a consortium of some fairly impressive organizations was formed with a singular goal: reduce by a factor of 1000, the 300 million tons of CO2 emitted by the “global network”.  As you will see in the YouTube video below, this represents an amount equivalent to 20% of all vehicles registered in the US.

The following organizations have come together (so far):

• AT&T
• Bell Labs
• China Mobile
• CEA-LETI Applied Research Institute for Microelectronics
• Freescale Semiconductor
• Foundation for Mobile Communications
• IMEC
• The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA)
• The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Research Laboratory for Electronics (RLE)
• Portugal Telecom
• Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT)
• Stanford University’s Wireless Systems Lab (WSL)
• Swisscom
• Telefonica
• University of Melbourne’s Institute for a Broadband-Enabled Society (IBES)
