@ -463,14 +463,13 @@ ubiquitous promises of energy savings depends on consumer coöperation. Here, th
question smart metering's chances of long-term success.
As \cite{pierce01} pointed out smart metering developments could benefit greatly from early involvement of HCI research.
HCI research certainly would not have overlooked entire central issues such as privacy as it happened in the dutch
case\cite{cuijpers01}. The current corporate-driven approach to a technological advance forced through national
standardization bears a risk of failing to meet its ostensible objectives for consumers. The role of consumers and the
complex socio-technological environment posed by this new technology is not seriously considered in the standardization
process. While certainly no one will admit to outright ignoring consumers in smart meter standardization, their role is
largely limited to the occasional public consultation. At the same time the standards are written by technologists--it
seems largely without input on their practicality or socio-technological implications from fields such as HCI.
% TODO citation? too much burn?
A systematic analysis of non-technical aspects can prevent issues such as privacy implications initially being
overlooked in the dutch deployment\cite{cuijpers01}. It is not clear that current standardization practice encompasses
an in-depth consideration of the role of consumers in the socio-technological environment posed by this new technology.
Standardization is often narrowly focused on technological aspects with little input beyond the occassional public
consultation at the time the new standards are being implemented into law. This corporate-driven approach to
technological progress being forced through national standardization bears a risk of failing to meet its advertised
consumer benefits.
