REGULATORS—Advanced metering (AMI) and meter data management (MDM) will be on your agenda over the coming months. Join Public Service Commission of Arkansas, ERCOT, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, the California Energy Commission and customer advocacy groups to decide what will work well in your state.
With the advances in technology, many things are possible. Regulators need to discern what should be done rather than what can be done. This forum is designed to provide the opportunity for all parties, including consumer advocacy groups and regulators, to work together to address how to reasonably share the costs and benefits between utilities and their customers.
Benefits of Participation
AMI MDM can provide information to help regulators evaluate the various options and decide what provides value to their constituents.
Regulators can consider how to pay for advanced metering since benefits accrue to both customers (and/or their retail provider) and distribution utility, but is most efficiently installed by the distribution utility.
Regulators will have an opportunity to validate their thoughts, and learn what the objections might be to a certain approaches.
This Working Group uniquely features a governance structure that puts AMI and MDM users, utilities, regulators, and other interested parties in a strong position to work with one another to advance a very important topic. The Working Group's full featured website located at www.amimdm.com not only provides information about the forum, but also provides a bevy of free articles, white papers, and studies. Regulators and consumer advocacy groups can join by simply emailing us at AMIMDM*utilipoint.com with their name and the name of their organization or call (214) 923-4876 for more information. The first workshop will be on April 24th to 25th at the Atlanta Hyatt Regency, co-located with the Metering Americas conference.
Utility participants include: Cinergy, CPS Energy, Direct Energy, FPL, JEA, SMUD, Community Energy Cooperative and many more

The MR will not have significant announcements in it IMO...That's why I'm hoping for a PR before hand...
The MR should have plenty of "read between the lines" information. So...let's see if it brings speculation with it...GLTA

AT SouthEndStockPickers, we're focusing solely on undervalued Nasdaq stocks that we feel will return potential profits of 500%+ in 1 to 3 weeks.
We feel this stock pick is very UNDERVALUED! This Company is a SLEEPING GIANT ready to be AWOKEN.
SouthEndStockPickers have changed the price target of CNES from $0.025 to $0.037

It would be nice if they had a little more concrete reasoning behind their claims. We have all heard the rumors of contracts, but thats all they are, rumors. I would love to see their short term target and I am still accumulating. I feel that this Co. is undervalued and I consider them a solid buy for the penny stock market. JMHO

I had a target of .0025 in the short term, and wondering if reasonable. They have a target more than 10 times higher, also short term.
The only way to expect that is an inminent big contract, joint venture, or takeover.
I'm good with .0025 (for the moment).
I agree. And although I am positive about this company, I tend to think that when websites/groups/people aggressively pump up a stock during a period when news is expected, that they begin to sound like paid pumpers.

Go to the Conectisys web site and re-read the last 6 or 7 press releases and you'll see a great pattern of growth and acceptance of their system. New funding for another year and Rodney Lightipe coming on board is very promising. His connections to the SoCal energy community is key. I was in San Diego last week and every time I saw a San Diego Gas & Electric truck drive by I just smiled.
Very soon.....

well, I don't think even if he pumped it this would crash all the way down to previous lows. CNES, unlike soooooo many other penny companies has a solid foundation on which to build a successful business.

See the news article below on Itron's Houston project. I wonder what's going on in other big Itron deployments?
Click2Houston.com Water Meter Program Costs Millions More Than Planned Transmitters Have 47 Percent Failure Rate POSTED: 2:00 pm CST March 28, 2006 UPDATED: 9:52 pm CST March 28, 2006
HOUSTON -- It's a program that was supposed save millions of tax dollars. But the KPRC Local 2 Troubleshooters have uncovered the city's new automated water meter system is costing millions of dollars more than anticipated and is years behind schedule. So, why are taxpayers footing the bill for manpower missteps and troubled technology?
In 1999, former Houston Mayor Lee Brown trumpeted Houston as the first city to have a completely automated water meter reading system.
The goal of the program was to save the city millions of dollars by eliminating a small army of employees who physically read the meters. Instead, radio transmitters beam the information from the meter to a computer in a van as it drives by.
The project was supposed to cost $50 million and be complete in 2003. Instead, it's now costing approximately $75 million and won't be complete until 2008.
"The failure rate is beyond anything that we should have experienced," Houston City Controller Annise Parker said.
The Troubleshooters started asking questions about this program last summer. That prompted Parker to do her own review. She found the radio transmitters on the water meters have a 47 percent failure rate.
"(That's) completely unacceptable," Parker said.
"That's something that we're not really proud of," said Wes Johnson, with the public works department.
Johnson said part of the problem is the new meters did not stand up that well to Houston's climate.
"This is cutting edge technology. Nobody has ever done this before in a city this size," he said.
The Public Works Department believes that it has turned a corner on this part of the problem. The new transmitters being installed are sealed to protect them from the elements and each transmitter now comes with two batteries.
The other part of the problem came when the city first started installing the transmitters. Initially, city employees did the work.
"A significant number of these were damaged. Some of our guys and gals didn't exactly know how to install them and damaged them during installation," Johnson said.
But that's not the end of it. There are still at least 55,000 of the transmitters that are not working, are out of warranty and the city has no idea why they won't work.
"It almost reminds you of the $700 toilet that the Air Force bought years ago. It's sort of like, 'How bad can it get for the taxpayer?'" Houston City Councilman Michael Berry said.
How bad? So far, it's cost more than $3 million just to replace bad transmitters. And the city can only hope it's finally worked out all the kinks out of the system.
Officials with the Public Works Department say another reason for delay in completing the project is Houston's growth.
City officials say there are 50,000 more water meters in the city than when the project began.
