I was on the team that did the RF evaluation of the Itron 900 Mhz meters, and I did followups if there were RF issues. Very few overall...most were in-band interference to cheap 900 Mhz devices (baby monitors, Dollar store wireless phones). We just migrated them to 2.4 Ghz
There were a few Chapel Hill folks who were convinced that 50mw at 900 Mhz were causing all sorts of health-related issues and they needed to be compensated! Some claimed to be RF sensitive and could feel a "burning sensation from RF or "hear it inside their head". I challenged them to a test to see if they could really feel the RF. If so, we would pay to put them on a conventional meter. No one ever took me up on it!
Ler me know if you have any negative issues. I still know a few guys there :).
