It’s just not going to happen, but if every new appliance had an rj45 or wireless built in, you could have the capability with no wiring changes

You have just described the Internet of Things, which is about as popular on El Reg (for perfectly valid reasons) as a dose of clap. In addition you are assuming that I will hand over my internet feed to someone else for them to play with. I pay for it; if anyone else wants to use bits of it they will have to guaranteee that it is to my advantage, not theirs. And/or pay me; does BT allow sub-letting of an internet service?

To quote Samuel Goldwyn Include me out.
