Not only ESMIG disputed the findings, also the Radiocommunications Agency Netherlands released a statement calling the lab conditions not comparable to normale home conditions: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;agentschaptelecom.nl&#x2F;actueel&#x2F;nieuws&#x2F;2017&#x2F;slimme-elektriciteitsmeters-zijn-betrouwbaar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;agentschaptelecom.nl&#x2F;actueel&#x2F;nieuws&#x2F;2017&#x2F;slimme-elek...</a>

wow the more I read into this the worst it sounds it can&#x27;t possibly be this much corruption and gouging going on can it.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;emfsafetynetwork.org&#x2F;smart-meters&#x2F;complaints&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;emfsafetynetwork.org&#x2F;smart-meters&#x2F;complaints&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;m getting more and more frustrated with digital appliances. Moved to a new place and the fancy digital appliances are more inconvenient than my previous older appliances with analog buttons and inputs. They are a negative to the experience. They&#x27;re ruining cars too.

It&#x27;s scary how much power we give IOT devices. It would be trivial for a utility company to alter or change readings in their favor.
