This is minor, and there are much worse abuses of government power, but this still strikes me as silly, stupid, and potentially costly to all consumers worldwide as companies are forced to redesign devices, and as commenters already mention, this will encourage folks to leave devices ON all the time as more and more devices become web enabled and require always on internet access.
Demanding labelling of 'stand-by' consumption rates is one thing, but forcing companies to redesign products is entirely another.
