Absolutely not, they are entirely optional. They can require you to have a new meter installed, but it is your decision as to whether it is Smart or not Smart.

True _unless_ you sign a contract for a deal which requires you to have a smart meter. The law of contract doesn't have a general let-out for smart meters.
Of course breach of contract is an option. They'd possibly just charge their standard tariff instead.

Far cheaper generic alternatives. Hell, you can make your own, equally effective, with kitchen cabinet additives.

Hey, no problem if you don't mind being spied on 24/7. Be my guest; go nuts. Make sure you pay over a thousand pounds for the handset, though, just to be certain you get the *full* experience of being played for a mug.

Can you name an alternative with (a) millions of unique codes; (b) that police can and do look for and use to trace the owner; (c) with "brand recognition" to deter thieves?
NB it's a good example of where technical expertise (the chemistry to make millions of unique codes that stick) ain't enough. It's also about a business strategy - in this case to build a large enough database of users that it's worthwhile for the police to install the kit; and publicity so thieves - and dealers - are deterred.

Perhaps not. But there are, we know, other people who are. Maybe you don't lead an interesting enough life!

I know I am not. Apple doesn?t track iphones 24/7 and there is no way for any app to do that without your permission. Apple even encrypts the data that moves over the mobile phone network when using the apple map app so that it isn't even possible for anyone to track you 24/7 that way and apple doesn?t sell your location to anyone.

Nope, someone who knows how the phone is done and knows that it isn't possible to monitor me 24/7 unless I give the app permission to do that.

They don't monitor you when you're sleeping.
How do they know you're sleeping?
They monitor you.
