 Anyone have a "smart meter" from their utility yet? How long before we start hacking these? 
 I'm an embedded contractor at the local utility and so I have some access to their staff to ask questions. 1st there's a powerful lack of knowledge about the appliances they are bolting to our homes at the mid tier. I asked how they communicated and it took a bit. I was curious if I'd have to pay for WiFi/Internet as well as the electricity. 
  The Smart meters I'm told have their own internal transponders and function as a mesh network to communicate to a local pole mounted hub. I didn't get any frequency data yet, it was difficult getting what I did so far. The planners only had a very superficial understanding. 

  So, anyone out there paying attention to this shift in utility tech that is handing on our homes?
