I do not know anything about TCP/IP information
leakage into the power grid, but the whole
"Smart Grid" business assumes being able, in
the long term anyway, to read whether your air
conditioner is running full when you are not at
home, say. This is not hard in the technical
sense, but for the person who does not want to
be surveilled in this way, it is time to look
into motor/generator isolation. The narrow
technical question of the moment might be whether
a router's power signatures (as filtered off
the AC line) are proportional to TCP/IP activity.

I know nothing of what is happening, only what
is possible.
