CS>Smart Meter

[Melly Bag]

I went out just now to take a look at our electric meter.  It does not have the 
little clocks.
 
The meter  looks like a taxi meter, not LED or digitalized.  The brand of the 
meter is Elster, however, at the bottom it reads DCSI SMT3.  I did a search on 
DCSI SMT and it is a smart meter.  I also found an article that ELSTER and DCSI 
have joined to produce/use a certain kind of meter, which i don't understand.  
The article is here:  http://www.metering.com/node/10226
 
Can someone tell me if indeed this is a smart meter?  
 
Thanks.
