The way I see it is the meter belongs to the electricity company as do the poles and transformers.
If we allow 2 customers in a city to demand their own meter technology, against the business plans of the utility, are we going to allow those customers to dictate what kind of transformers will be allowed on the pole in their back yard?
Can they demand a wood pole instead of a metal pole?
How can a customer dictate to a company what products it is allowed to use to provide it's service?
