Aerial installed inside family home as part of a GloBug set up

The “GloBug” prepay power system is used in conjunction with a smart meter.  In NZ, it is currently being marketed to low-income families with large billboards at a number of Auckland locations.

There were reports a few years ago that one of the companies using the GloBug had tried to bully customers into accepting this system.

Below is a photo of a meter and an aerial that was installed inside a family home to facilitate the use of the GloBug system.
