That's pretty funny!!

Btw, I've been trying to figure out this Udata/MUCP connection and was curious if anyone has any ideas.

I'm wondering if Udata, being a power metering/management company, has tasked MUCP with coming up with a technology that would permit utilities to integrate a set-top box, or other hardware device, with a home's appliances. This would permit them to control power usage when demand is unecessarily high in return for a different rate structure for the customer.

Heck, if they could eliminate the wireless meter reading they might save considerable money, and they could through in the set-top box as a loss leader.

There are some other companies that seem to be pursuing this approach:

ua.pennnet.com

win4.net (highlight the text and it's easier to read against that nasty background)

Here's a site referencing pre-paid power (although I don't like this model, it does provide the customer the ability to determine their power usage costs in real-time)

woodstockpuc.on.ca

And we know that Udata is definitely in the power data collection/dissemination business on the wireless side. Why not on the wired side as well?

Any thoughts?
