Apparently, we in the UK will all have these fitted by 2020! The government has declared we are all getting "smart meters". I was chatting to a utility guy last week and he tells me these are two way devices. The power company can also monitor your usage of power, when you use most and to some extent what you are using too!!! He also said, if they suspect fraud, or there is non-payment, they can cut the power remotely too. To me, this is all getting a bit too much "big brother" - what do you guys in the US think?
