I reckon sometime in the next couple of years they'll sort out the 'smart meters can only report to their original supplier' nonsense.
The regulators will just force the original suppliers to forward on the readings to the relevant suppliers much like you just get a PAC to switch mobile contracts.
I can't think of any technological reason why they can't solve it this way, but everyone seems to think that the only solution is a smarter smart meter.
