Last week an Alcatel-Lucent led consortium outlined a research project squarely targeted at tackling the climate issue by pushing manufacturers to make telecoms networks, greener and more energy efficient.
The consortium, called Green Touch, has backing from governments in the US, UK, France and South Korea and a few notable telecoms giants including China Mobile, AT&T and Telefonica are involved however there are many leading telephone system manufactures who have not yet responded.
The aim is to create new technologies within a five year period that will result in a minimum 1000 fold reduction in energy consumption in the use of telecoms networks around the globe.
It has been estimated that fixed line telephone and mobile networks are currently using energy that generates around 300m tons of CO2 each year.
