The person who rips the SIM card out of their smart meter and uses to download stuff off the Internet isn't a consumer.

Indeed. They're talking about informing the power company that someone is misusing one of their SIMs.

You know, so that they can discover the theft a bit faster than they did in this case, where it took them from November 19, 2009 until February 9, 2010. A lot less would have been stolen from the power company were that the case.

tptacek, in the scenario that I've construct, if you misconfigured an app that result in an astronomical bill, we you pay it without contest? Will you do it if you have to sell your house to pay off the phone company?
