Not so sure I agree w/you that power transmission lines are also being "groomed" for two-way data transmission capabilities.

More likely the Powercom meter is attached to a phone transmission connector.

Besides, imagine trying to use the "smart card to pay the 'lectric bill" during non-peak hours, when the kids are on the phone all the time the parent is NOT on the internet<g>

Should make for some interesting excuses when power is disrupted and the homeowner is trying to get it restored.

Now, if LonWorks would come up with an automated application for sending phoned data packets when A) no one is using the phone, B) measured service rates are the cheapest C) with the cheapest LD carrier,...now THERE would a home application I could get behind<g>

Oh, and BTW, don't you just LOVE the way ELON mgmt manages the news around options expiry time? Tis beautiful, yes?
