As someone who writes analysis code for the readings collected by smart meters, do you know how easy it is to isolate unusual activity by studying the averages versus actuals on a system like this and then send a few men out to do an inspection in a specific area versus the fleet of vehicles needed (carbon footprint) to read all those meters?
And I'm not going to go into the privacy concerns cos smart meters only relay usage, they know nothing about their installed locations.
I think this is about pot myself.
