- Sorry. Jetlagged. That was supposed to be EMC...as in electromagnetic compatibility. As opposed to ECM, which is electronic countermeasures. You make a good point about retrofitting appliances. I wou

- If BPL gets deployed, we'll need some ECM. Since BPL advocates occasionally cite energy management as a rationale for deploying BPL, its a useful topic to understand. They don't push very hard on thi

- Wireless (UHF, mostly) remote meter reading and load management systems are already in place now and work well. Look for a tall vertical antenna on top of a phone pole somewhere in your neighborhood

- Ward, Your assumption is not valid; not all utilities have the infrastructure already in place for what you describe. Most do not, and those few that do probably don't have it into every home. If the
