GE claims 'Industrial Internet' Bolsters Critical Infrastructure Security http://j.mp/12vURRU (eWeek) General Electric has introduced something it calls the "Industrial Internet," which is a communications environment aimed at infrastructure companies that exists in parallel with the public Internet.
