google's powermeter thing actually...

I think the salient point in Seastrom's note though is that if you put
together a 'private' network today, you will either plan for
interconnection to business partners now (use globally unique address
space) or suffer some horrendous renumbering pain (or double nat hell)
later on.

Larger power folks may not see this now, but ... as Rob said, just
wait until someone points out the SCADA network security implications
of what they did.
