Just one more thing to run down the same pipe.
Before long, everything we have in our households which involves a form of communication will run through a common pipe and a major dependency will present itself. One well-placed "accident"...and...I think it's obvious.
The only self-protection (powerwise) is fuel cells capable of supporting your house[1]. But that only presents an opportunity to prevent a blackout in your house. (and prevent a brownout because you can flush your toilet) Does that mean you can't communicate? (seriously) - would the fact you have some form of power prevent you from sending any type of signal across the same lines?
[1] My vision is instead of keeping just one at your house is to avoid a single cutthroat dependency is to create a minigrid with a handful of your neighbors. If you or your neighbors have a fuel cell power outage, you can stay afloat until repairs can be made.
