In technological terms, Enel Distribuzione’s project is state-of-the-art thanks to the make-up of the components to be used to establish smart grids and improve the existing traditional grids (tension sensors; actuators to interrupt and re-establish electrical current both under normal operating conditions and when there is a breakdown; innovative microprocessor protection systems, static storage systems and grid regulation systems; WiFi communications infrastructure, WiMax and fibre optics to support operating systems, emergency management and opportunity management).

The electrical resistance between the running surfaces of the opposite wheels of a wheelset does not exceed 0,05 Ohm, measured by a voltage between 1,8 VDC and 2,0 VDC (open circuit).

In addition, the electrical reactance between the running surfaces of the opposite wheels of a wheelset does not exceed f/100 mOhm when f is between 500 Hz and 40 kHz, under a measuring current of at least 10 ARMS and open voltage of 2 VRMS.

It takes much of the band's autonomy away from the chief and council, causes tension between the band and government and has a number of side effects that result in a deteriorating relationship between Aboriginal people and the federal government.

There has been considerable tension between the lobster fishers from the Chapel Island First Nation and local fishermen, particularly with respect to measures relating to the band's food, social and ceremonial fishery.

The so far very local cease-fire which the parties agreed upon on 28 August for the Beit Jalla/Bethlehem-Gilo sector and which is being complied with must be consolidated and extended to include other hotspots of conflict and tension in the Gaza Strip and on the West Bank.
