Amtech(?) has the I-Pass system here in Chicago for automatic toll collection. Orbcomm is offering remote meter reading/monitoring services via low earth orbit sats. Several otehrs are in the works. There are ground based radio schemes out there as well for meter reading. Can't remember the name of the company, but it is public, and not alone. I have seen where a low power unit is used and utility people just drive by and pick up signal. Others go a number of miles. A cellular approach would be better. A satellite approach has better coverage.
