21. Roger Duncan, Former General Manager Austin Energy “The demise of the ‘spinning meter’ business model is inevitable. Everyone knows it’s coming, and most people now think it’s coming pretty quickly. What has not emerged yet is its replacement. And until we know where the revenue streams will flow from and to, it doesn’t really matter what brilliant technical plan we come up with. The business model is the linchpin.”
