I think the absorptive capacity of the industry has traditionally been limited. That's why I think a focus both on incentives for technology deployment, which may be financial mechanisms, as well as these technology sandboxes is critical. Getting over the commercialization valley of death where the cost of deploying new technology can number in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars requires the ability to essentially plug and play. You want the infrastructure in place so the companies are able to see examples in practice that allow them to move more quickly.
