So much depends on the internet now, this would be interesting to see. I have thermostats, cameras, motion sensors, etc all requiring a live internet connection. I have all my files 'in the cloud'. I pay my bills online. Now, I'm an IT guy so I have backups / alternatives, but there's a whole pile of people who don't. An internet outage would be immensely unpopular and would turn people against whoever implemented it. I'm not a FB or Twatter use but many still are, and they too would flip out if you took their drug away from them.
