I'm not really thinking of moving off of the power grid but doing my taxes has forced me to review my connectivity expenses and even a simple cost/benefit analysis shows that I ought to cut back.
I never use my cell phone so that will go right away, followed by my cable/roadrunner service and most of my phone lines. By the end of the year I want to be down to 1 POTS line and maybe DirecTV minus most of the movie channels that keep showing movies from 10 years ago or more.
I'm making a checklist of things I need to change before I make the switch; like getting rid of any software that needs to "phone home" over the Internet to operate. I would appreciate any other ideas of this type that I should add to my list of things to do before I cut the cord.
