<p>Systems (100), methods (200, 300), and apparatus for facilitating utility meter (105) communication are provided. One or more communications to be transmitted by a utility meter (105) may be identified by (205) the utility meter (105). A cost associated with the transmission of the one or more communications may be determined (210) by the utility meter (105), and a determination may (215) be made as to whether the cost satisfies one or more cost parameters. If it is determined that the cost satisfies the one or more cost parameters, the one or more communications may be transmitted (220) by the utility meter (105). If, however, it is determined that the cost does not satisfy the one or more cost parameters, the one or more communications may be stored (225) by the utility meter (105) for subsequent transmission.</p> |
