[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain the real privacy issue here? Anyone can walk up to your house and read your meter. Anyone can watch when your lights go on and off.  And the power company can read your meter whenever they want. Unlike practically every orher business they xant use this information to sekl tour name to marketers  Shame on them for trying to use information to provide better service.

Ha!  Do you know PEPCO?  Do you really think the Smartmeter is going to lead to 'better service'?  HAHAHAHAHA

My guess is there is some benefit to them.  And, if the Public Service Commission is allowing people to opt-out, maybe they think something is up?[/quote] probably so they can sell your data to the GE's, Samsungs, Apple's, Bose's of the world. all the benefits they espouse can be achieved through other methods. some financial analysts at PEPCO calculated that the investment in the smartmeters can be paid back in 17 months and after that it is pure icing on their cake. just think of all the data they can package up to sell to the product development folks, the marketers, etc. [/quote]

There must be some benefit to PEPCO or else they wouldn't be doing it.  And if they are spending all this cash to do it, they must have a plan to make that money back.[/quote]
