PPL was in the national news (WSJ?) yesterday.  Evidently they are trying to 
set up their digitial computers to shut off gas without having a gas man to 
go to property once the user is $10 past due.  Now, it is able to shut off if 
you are $30 past due, but it cost them more than that to send gas man to the 
property.  Once all digital, computer can auto-cut-off $10 past due.  cold
