I MENTIONED the following about 18-24 months ago and was all but laughed off the board.Those that responded said it was totally unworkable :classic:
Prepaid cards for power supply
Power distribution companies EdeSur and EdeNorte announced the start of a first 500-client pilot program whereby consumers would use prepaid cards for their power supply. Listin Diario reports that the system will operate in the style of the prepaid telephone calling cards. At the same time, the companies will install a pilot plan to monitor 200 residential, business and industrial users seeking to reduce fraud.
The cost of these programs is US$125,000 and will be invested by US, Israelian and Korean companies interested in selling this technology to the power distribution companies. The promoters say the systems would reduce fraud and non-paying consumers.
According to the report in the Listin, the companies say that of 1.3 million clients, only 800,000 pay for the service.
I was familiar with this situation in South Africa and that is how the problem of non payment was solved. Everyone...and I do mean everyone pays...including the government. Who laughs last now? DOC
