CNES has some homework to do. Any techno buffs out there? How does CNES's stuff match up with SCE's "Metering Capability Framework for AMI"? This was new to the SCE's website as of Fri:
What's New
SCE presentation at Metering Americas' "Smart Metering -- Beyond AMR" workshop April 24, 2006
SCE announces its Metering Capability Framework for Advanced Metering technology

The only thing that concerns me is the size of ConectiSys. I mean much bigger companies, for example, some that may have been in the pilot program, can make it hard for ConectiSys in competing for a contract. Because whereas bigger companies can provide product/technology/services cheap, smaller companies, like ConectiSys, are resource poor.
I just wished we were a part of something bigger. Of course having a letter of intent from GE would certainly make us look more favorable.
You never know though, ConectiSys just may have what it takes regardless. Well, lets hope so anyways.

you have to be small and fledgling before you can grow in to a large company with massive resources. The lack of being a large company with huge resources is why they hired a guy like Lighthipe to head business development. A former insider with ties to the Cali utility industry....

CNES is funded through 2006--platform is getting fine-tuned and there are no guarantees of course but certainly co. has much greater chance of landing contract(s) than in past. FCC certification, Mr. Lighthipe on board and the aforementioned funding in place.
IMHO the co. needs to educate a greater audience about the problems that their technology can solve and take things a step up to get positive exposure. The co. may be small but it can be more-creative in getting exposure. The MR is a start really but most people investors and other decision-makers need to connect the dots with PRs that show a co. with clear direction and achievable goals.
The stalling of PPS at .0010-.0015 shows a good level of confidence (no .0004 level or below for months) but IME a number of individuals waiting on sideline for clearer 'go'/BUY signal.
Hopefully, there are resources and a focus being directed to states besides California because the demand for increased power consumption and consumer concern about cost is a national if not international issue. Greater efficiencies must be found because truly as we're seeing with oil and gas woes--the days of cheap energy are over. It is extremely costly to build new electrical generating facilities and so achieving greater efficiencies with existing infrastructure is paramount. Moreover, CNES approach can empower both utilities and consumers to conserve energy at peak times--keeping down costs for all parties concerned. With a very real potential for oil and gas crisis for next 5-20 years in USA the nation can ill afford a similar crisis concerning electricity.

Discussion: Only In California Date: March 11, 2006 10:07 AM Subject: Dr. Bill Wattenburg: The Next Consumer Fraud . The Next Massive Consumer Blessed by California Politicians Fraud by...Dr. Bill Wattenburg
Over the past ten years, I have warned KGO listeners throughout California about several vulgar, monumental frauds being perpetrated by state agencies and approved by our political leaders in Sacramento. These multi-billion-dollar insults against the environment and consumers alike include the MTBE poison put in our gasoline for ten years and the Smog-II program that pretends to be cleaning up the air in California when in fact it is only robbing the low income families who must drive older cars. The country’s best scientists warned that both of these programs were not cost effective. They were a waste of your hard-earned money. Facts have proven them right. Now, I will tell you about the next bureaucratic stupidity coming your way. But first, let’s review the past frauds so you that you might better recognize the next one.
Forcing MTBE in our gasoline created the biggest environmental insult to our state that has ever taken place. And all of this was blessed for years by the so-called environmental groups such as the Sierra Club which went along with the self-serving justifications from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). MTBE was finally taken out of California gasoline by law, but only after the average California motorist was force to pay over a thousand dollars in increased gas costs to poison himself at the pump. Finally, everyone recognized that MTBE was toxic and dangerous and causing massive contamination of our ground water that will cost tens of billions of dollars to remove. Now, the cleanup must be paid for by the same working people who were charged an extra twenty cents a gallon to be poisoned by the MTBE for ten years.
Thanks to the indifference of our political leaders in Sacramento, the Smog II program continues to insult and rob the working people of California, particularly lower income families. New cars are not tested at all. The whole focus of this expensive and ineffective testing program is on older cars which the idiots in Sacramento think are the biggest polluters. But top scientists told them years ago that the older cars are not the problem. Older cars are driven far fewer miles per year than newer cars. Our best scientists reported that newer cars out of tune are the biggest polluters because they are driven many more miles each day. (See the major scientific report in journal Science, 3 July 1993, page 37, written by top air pollution scientists at MIT, Caltech, U.C Berkeley, and others. These same scientists also warned that putting oxygenates such as MTBE and ethanol in gasoline “is not cost effective.”) I personally rubbed this scientific report in the faces of the bureaucratic idiots in CARB and the Smog II program. The state bureaucrats simply ignored the science, while they continued to tell your naïve state legislators that both MTBE and Smog II were the greatest things since sliced bread.
What all this means is that over the last ten years the low income families who have had to drive older cars have been robbed of billions of dollars by the very same political leaders in Sacramento who claim to be the protectors of the working people. And it continues.
These two examples are why I have called the California EPA, the California Environmental Pollution Agency. The highly-paid bureaucrats in this agency have proven themselves to be nothing more than environmental frauds in the most cruel fashion, with the full blessing of the political leaders whom you elected to run your state.
Now comes “Smart Meters.”
There is another massive fraud coming your way. The state “energy” agencies are going to use your home utility bills as a means to increase your taxes and pay for a program as potentially worthless as MTBE and Smog II. Dumb bureaucrats are planning to install what they call “smart meters” on all of your homes. These smart meters will contain electronics that will allow the utilities to program how and when you use electricity, much like installing a “speed control mechanism” on your car so that the state can micro manage how fast you drive, every mile, every day.
Supposedly, the smart meters will allow the utilities to charge you variable rates for electricity to discourage you from using power during peak demand times of the day. And guess who will have to pay the billion dollars or more to install ten million of these new meters? The working families, of course. You will be charged several hundred dollars to allow the utilities to control your life, and major new utility expenses to maintain these “smart meters” will be added to your utility bills where they hope you won’t even notice.
Those who are promoting the smart meter idea claim that they will solve all of the state’s peak energy demand problems. I believe that the bureaucrats in the California Energy Commission (CEC) who are pushing this program are about as technically ignorant and inexperienced as the bureaucrats who forced you to pay to poison yourself with MTBE in the gasoline. They call themselves “power system experts” in the same manner that the EPA frauds convinced the legislature that they were “environmentalists.” They have not tested their smart meter pipe dream in the field in any meaningful way.
There are at least two major flaws in the billion-dollar “smart meter” program that will soon be forced on you by the naïve Commissioners of the California Public Utilities Commission. The biggest problem: They have no reliable way to communicate with the millions of smart meters at customer homes. They have never field tested anything reasonable. The ordinary radio signals they propose to use are not reliable. They are easily blocked, deceived, or scrambled. High-school hackers will have a field day messing up the energy system of the state. Many customers will quickly fool their “smart meters” to use the lowest rate all the time. This means that the honest customers will have to pay even higher rates to make up for the thieves.
The next problem: This bureaucratic pipe dream to micro-manage everyone’s energy usage will give the customer no verifiable record of how much he was charged each hour of the day. In other words, consumers will be at the mercy of the utilities that can change the rates charged for electricity any time they want. The utilities will only be able to tell the consumer: “Trust us. We sent a signal to your smart meter to change the rates, but we have no way to confirm that the signal was properly receive by your meter. In other words, there is no feedback in the smart meter scheme to protect the customer. The customer will never know if his “smart meter” is stuck on the highest rate all the time.
The only protection for the customer is a hard-copy print out of daily rate changes and energy usage that the customer can understand and verify. The smart meter program being approved by the California PUC does not include such customer safeguards.
For many years, the Southern California Edison utility has operated a program that sends radio signals to cut off customers’ air conditioners during peak demand times. Experience has shown that a high percentage of these “mini smart meters” are not working. The electronics fail and no one knows it. The radio signals are not received or, as you can guess, any half-sleepy homeowner can simply block the radio signals from being received by the air conditioner cut-off switch (with some aluminum foil over the receiver) and the customer continues in air-conditioned comfort while enjoying the special rate reduction for allowing the dumb air conditioner cut-off switch to be installed in his home. What does anyone expect will happen when homeowners discover that they can block the silly signal to the “smart meter” that is going to raise their electricity rate during the day? (Three-dollar “smart meter signal blocker” kits will be sold on eBay within a few weeks after this dumb scheme is approved by the California PUC).
If you don’t want to be the suckers for the next MTBE bureaucratic fraud, you had better contact your state legislators, the governor’s office, and the Commissioners of the California Public Utilities Commission. There must be extensive field tests of any smart meter scheme before it is imposed on ten million utility customers. It must be field tested on at least five thousand homes throughout the state for at least two years. There must be full public disclosure of the test results. The results must be examined and discussed in open legislative hearings. You had better tell your political leaders that they must protect you from more bureaucratic frauds or you will not vote for them again

Good post, but in reference to "Greater efficiencies must be found"..., thats why the mandate is key. Once in effect, utilities "have" to become more efficient.

I live in Florida .A few years ago the elec. co. had what they called SMART BOX's.[It was mandentory on new construction]They gave you like $4 or $5 off your bill if you installed one it would save you $20 on your bill.It lasted about 4 years and it died.

That might be true but their product, technology and services I'm sure was nothing like what ConectiSys offers. And besides, they probably didn't benefit the utilities/consumers as much as ConectiSys can. jmo

Mark my words, technology or not, from the mandate effective date, 2 (two) years is all the time I will give this company to get a contract. If they don't have a contract within that period, I'm out.

i have not posted in a looooooooooong time. but, i came to this site because of cnes and i am still strong in this one and look forward to the future with this stock. we, will have our day. i myself just about to graduate from college am in no rush. im also playing with money that i made, so if it goes. HELL YEAH, but if not. screw it. it was a good chance that has potential. ALOT may i add

At Southern California Edison, we know the next generation of electric meters could do all this and more. And we think it should. We think the meter should help us offer the best possible service to our customers at the most reasonable cost.

Well, you guys are to be ashamed. I had to rescue us from page three when there is so many deals to be had today. Look at all the cheap shares.

What is to be ashamed. It has all been talked about. We just have to wait. ............let it go to page ten, but when it goes (Big) all the longs will still be here.

Sometimes I find myself reading the website, press releases and related news articles over and over. It’s just that certain points of interest continue to fascinate me. One thing I've found to be truly impressive, and rarely mentioned as a group or in part is ConectiSys' Advisory Board to the Board of Directors.
What an awesome group of professionals!
Personally, they give me all the confidence in the world knowing they are going to do everything in their power to bring ConectiSys success, and its shareholders wealth.
