I like their(CNES) Goals. Esp. the part about vertical manner!!
Future Goals
The Company is cleaning up its final stages of development for sales, after eight years and 15. million dollars; we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. H-Net™ is just in time for market entry as the wireless AMR market heats up. Based on proposed and current state legislation, it is likely that the PUC will require Utilities throughout the Nation to retrofit a percentage of existing meters and install AMR metering systems to most new installations within the next 12-months, if deregulation is to move forward. This will create the catalyst for new technology such as H-Net™ to explode into the market in a truly vertical manner.
We are taking advantage of the opportunities for advanced metering applications that have resulted from utility deregulation. We are looking forward to bringing to the marketplace, a new commercial Network. H-Net™ is designed as an added value solution while providing the high performance required by modern AMR.
H-Net™ will revolutionize wireless data and acquisition for real time two-way monitoring, evolving as a new standard for Commercial Telecommunications.
The Company’s focus will be to fast track its network deployment efforts with a single goal of delivering energy consumption records for the electrical utility industry, four times an hour, twenty-four hours a day.

The key point sonic is that these AMR systems can afford greater awareness to consumers/tenants and greater efficiencies to utilities. If most people get home at 5:30PM on a hot summer day in CA and turn on the computer, run load of wash and dishwasher then they are likely using (buying) power at peak. Everyone using at that time will likely pay more. I'm talking more about staggering energy use--flavored by consumers having an option to know real-time what they're using energywise. Of course if a utility doesn't know the data real-time then consumers are a long way off. Some people higher cost or no are simply not going to care about running wash at peak-time and some if given economic benefit will change energy use patterns. I see the point you are making with your question however the AMR/CNES technology with real-time info could potentially change patterns and empower consumer usage of energy at (less-costly times) and reduce costs to utilities who are obligated to provide energy on demand. If power costs are lowered for utilities then idealy consumer costs will stay level or could be reduced. What would be the savings nationally both $ and environmentally if 1-5% greater efficiency was attained. CNES could have the potential to lead the charge nationally with utilities both with their FCC certified platform as well as indications that they want to partner with the best and brightest AMR innovators out there. A co. like GE or equivalents is not going to summarily dismiss such a player because how many light bulbs can you sell. Where are the new industries and if the blue chips want to be in the game in the future they better find or cultivate that future. People can say this and that about stock runs speculation, greed and fear and it all plays a part but I think the enthusiasm here is the future. Excitment for the AMR approach could be as warranted as investing in a model T when your neighbor with his horse and buggy gave you a disapproving stare. I apologize for all the verbosity but I do believe in CNES and moreover the future and yes the NEED for AMR technology.
