No WiiConnect 24 In The UK?

Nintendo revealed plans of having the Wii console operating even when it’s “off” (read: standby), downloading new content etc. However, a new Government rule may block that idea, since it requires all electronic appliance manufacturers to remove the standby feature from their products.
The Government estimates that 8% of the energy consumption in the UK is wasted while electronic equipment is on standby, equipment like TV’s, DVD players, set-top boxes, chargers etc.
Nintendo hasn’t said anything about Wii’s power consumption, but if the new law is passed, it will mean no WiiConnect 24 for the Brits.
