    This thread renewed my interest in smart meters, i found this page on wikipedia yesterday.
    Section 8 onwards makes for interesting reading.
    Wikipedia is not a reliable source and anyone can edit it. .
    Members of Stopsmartmeters.org are also very likely to have some fun with Wikipedia adding their opinions and they have some extreme views.

    The effect on health facts makes for grim reading if you were to believe it, especially as I've got 5 mobile phones in the house connected to the cellular network and at least 20 devices connected to my wifi router... I must be frying myself!
