I'd be curious what smart meter provider they use. While there are some very sophisticated/expensive models, most of them only send very short data bursts every 15 or 30 minutes. Because of this, I suspect this article is just another consumer-paranoia attempt to blame smart meters for anything they can think of.
Notice how all these people subscribed to this communal living willingly. I'm sure someone could argue that it's because they have been manipulated.
Either way, it's completely opposite a government structured communism where you tax the wealthy to provide for the lazy/foolish.
Nah. Some kid who tested 6 different denture adhesives in Coke will win because the judges actually understand WTF he did. At least that's how it worked at science fairs when I was in school.
You probably should have learned how to explain your volcano better.
Seriously, the original poster needs to hire someone that is an industry expert in Utility Communications. Disclaimer: I work for this division, but we do this stuff every day and it's not the kind of thing you want to try doing on your own. In the worst instances, there are no second chances.

I can couch for this. POTS ATT = $30 a month after all the "required" fees and taxes are added. Bare minimum, no long distance, no caller ID, local calling only, no options whatsoever.
I tried to get "lifeline" because we use the phone so little, but it is not available in my area.

Back when I was a yout, I used a large box fan. It also helped because my dorm room was not air conditioned. ...And we LIKED it!
I was under the impression MPG was not a major air quality factor ever since they invented the catalytic convertor. Am I mistaken?

Did anyone else find it funny that we're talking about 9 vs 10 digits in the same summary as finger amputations?
great idea. Then we can sell lake-front condos.
Good thinking. First we need to research waterproof dirt.
I propose that we fill the ocean with dirt, and then drive our cargo across on trucks.

You could build something across the water... like maybe, a dam. Then run fiber to it.
who actually let this topic get to the front page? dude, stick the server in your basement and be done with it... petes-brain - it's in his basement
better yet, host it from mine. $10/month.
Man, someone might want to think about redundancy. (And I don't mean redundant power outages).
yes, but the constant stops at every train station will make your trip take forever.
Let me guess, they recommend all SEL equipment?

He sure seems to think that Bush had a lot of power.
Science is right, There is a God
Not to worry, just look up. It's right there next to Uranus. You can't miss it.
no it's not.
It's called 3-Wire, single-phase. (They are the same phase, 0 degrees apart)
In 3-phase the feeders are 120 degrees apart.
better yet, a task for two newbies. The slower one gets FIRED.
