| I think Bbcause the main goal isn't to offer broadband, it's to integrate smart technology into utility networks for monitoring, then sell broadband as a side-revenue stream where appiicable.....
I think most of these utilities are more excited over the networking monitoring capabilities of these networks than the consumer broadband portion.
It is, and always has been, a niche solution. Not Powell's "great broadband hope". |

I see what you mean--then they would not have to pay union-scale meter readers anymore. Anything to save a buck (don't expect any bill reduction to come of it, however, as it will all go to the CEO's salary).
