...electric companies can match the Texas-size swagger of Enron, which vows to overpower its stodgy utility rivals. "What other industry in America still sends agents into your home to read meters just as they did in 1935?" asks Enron spokesman Mark Palmer. Enron is putting its money where its boasts are: gearing up for wireless metering and building a billing center near Columbus, Ohio, with the capacity to produce statements for no fewer than--count 'em--30 million customers...

Maybe, but the more immediate question is whether digital radio will even get off the ground. Companies offering the satellite link will have to shell out millions in start-up costs, and then wait an estimated three years for stations to get their equipment in working order...
