John, thanks for the comments!

Our goal with this paper was to provide information to various stakeholders to inform evidence-based policy and decision making.  Some of the obvious areas where this data can directly affect deployment decisions and specifications are holdover time and voltage protection/stabilization – how often is additional holdover needed to prevent temperature excursions? What voltage range is most beneficial?  What kinds of electrical events need to be protected against?

We’re doing some additional analysis to help address those questions and will have more results to share soon.  Even with clear data showing outage lengths and voltage histograms, more input and debate will be needed to balance technical benefits with manufacturer constraints and country implementation logistics and get to the specification changes that John mentioned.  We welcome feedback from the TechNet-21 community on the data and their implications for CCE.
