Re: what no

My brother allowed his utility to install load shed equipment at his house. They used a VHF radio rather than bpl. They are permitted to dump a load for a maximum of 15 minutes during a 2 hour period. In exchange for this ability they rebate $30 per month. (10 for a/c, 10 for hot water heater, 10 for pool pump). Seems fair to me. If you don't like it, they will stop using it.

Re: what no

Yes, that's the type of voluntary participation that makes much sense. Note particularly that this is fairly easily accomplished using low-bandwidth radio control--not really much of a major motivating factor for broadband deployment, though it probably works to justify it to technically ignorant regulators whose biggest venture into hardware was changing the ribbon on their Smith-Corona portable typewriter in college....
