Apparently these privacy stealing communist "dumbmeters" create their own mesh network, with certain undisclosed units being a network node. At least this is how it appears in Victoria. Doing an internet cross/inter-connect with that mesh will be marvelous for the hackers trying to take down an electricity grid.

I wouldn't call that description an accurate take on it though, and I'd take anything a site with a clear agenda to stop smart metering says about how smart meters work with a very large grain of salt.</div>
