[quote=Anonymous]I am the OP. This thread is really here to inform people of their rights to opt-out. For me, I like my privacy, and I was surprised that PEPCO can just show up to install this equipment that distributed my usage patterns to who-know-where.

There is plenty of other information on the internet about the harms of the devices and the benefits of the smart meters that everyone should research for themselves from valid sources. I agree that these threads are influenced by those who monitor them for corporate gain. This is no secret.

But if you ask me, PEPCO can just as easily put a device on your block (and not your house) to get local but not individual information to help out with the continuity of service stuff. And commonsense tells me that they must already have monitors out there already to see what certain zones are doing. I think there is a bit of smoke and mirrors in this and modern business tactics. But that is a topic for another thread.

I mainly wanted to share with everyone what I learned about being able to opt-out until you can learn for yourself what the smartmeter actually does for you or what risks may come with it.

No one should be able to simply add a tap to your house to extract information, without getting you permission.
