This report reviews the state of smart meter rollouts in various countries
(Europe, USA, Japan), which form the first steps of eventual national scale
smart grids. Whilst electricity meters are at the forefront of such rollouts,
gas and water must also be considered. The drivers and barriers for this
market are assessed, and forecasts are made for the number of smart meters to
be deployed and the resulting cellular connectivity revenues, up to 2018.
Finally, some future paths which may be explored for expansion into smart
grids are examined.
