just so everyone knows...i was listening to CNBC this morning and the segment focused on itron's meter reading technology and how much the utility companies need this type of technology to capture the right revenue at the right time. the tie in is that this is the same technology that cnes has been developing for some time now...so maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel if they can get there act together....incidently itron closed at 49.76 today. anybody want to dream a little with what their shares of cnes might be worth if they even got to one percent of itrons price $$$$$ ????
