Radio Teleswitch Service

[Fusewirey]

The Daily Telegraph has discovered the Radio Teleswitch Service today:

"BBC switch-off to force 600,000 households on to smart meters"
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/bills/energy/600000-households-forced-smart-meters/

Does these signal actively switch things every day, or often just keep the meter time clocks accurate?

So it it stops, will clocks in many meters merely start drifting over time, and nothing more serious than that?

Telegraph talk bollocks, I don't think I've seen a working teleswitch in decades, any meter that old would have been updated at least once, possibly twice by now.
