We are getting the same thing here soon. I like the idea that they can reduce costs by taking readings remotely, but I am not crazy about the remote disconnect capability. I can see that being a huge problem if a glitch causes it to cut out. I live in an area where they don't read the meter every month; more like every quarter. I'll be glad to receive billing for actual usage rather than estimates. Still, I don't like the "big brother" aspect of it at all.
