If the only reason for the new meter was to reduce the number of human
meter-readers, they could have solved that with a meter that transmits
once per month.  Nobody would be complaining about that...

Also, if they can transmit broadband internet over the power lines,
then they could have transmitted your electricity usage (again,
once per month) over the powerline, with no wireless involved...
