Basically - for most organisations I'd say that it's probably better to have excellent earthing facilities, get a good insurance policy with a reasonable company, and maintain adequate backups to setup replacement systems is probably the answer, rather than spending lots on trying to avoid the effects of a lightning strike.

True. But don't forget the building "lighting rods". :)

For consumers though, a reasonable data line surge protector is good enough. It should do a reasonable job for other than direct or nearly direct hits. APC has a good insurance policy with most of their products. As always those data backups are *the* best protection, provided those same backups are themselves properly protected !
