Great, but unless you are saying that the EMT is going to use my home
network to get more bits through, I don't think this is at all in

The EMT have the organization and manpower and mandate to have a managed
network. The home network has no manpower, and is seldom organized.
(The more geekier the network, the less organized :-))
