Why not jut go all out and say, "We have the right to seize any of you possesions, for no reason and share them with anyone we feel like and there is nothing you can do about it"
What I would like to know is how much electrical energy it takes to create, transport, install and maintain these "floors" and how long it would take to break even on that front? Only with those figures would I be comfortable with giving this the go ahead, the worst thing would be to install these everywhere only to find out that we will never actually make back the energy used to create them. This, of course, is assuming that these floors are not indestructable and will need regular maintenance \ replacement parts.
The analogy I would use is if a storage container company has 20 containers but rents them out to 25 people because "They, more than likely, will not take up all of the space". If you pay for 15mbps you should get 15mbps when you need it regardless of any overall bandwith usage policy!

I don't feel any safer, does anyone else?
