Q1. What do "low-income" consumers have to do with this versus other consumers? I am offended by this question.
Q2. As the various smart grid working groups have outlined, there are a number of standard data communication interfaces that could be employed. To reduce cost, power line communication would seem to be the best transport layer. In posing the question of who should pay, the consumer always pays. The utility will pass on the costs they incur to consumers.
