I agree.

My house is already multi-homed for electricity supply - my conventional
phone has an independent power supply from my house.

I'm already multi-homed with my voice service itself - I have both a
sepearate fixed line and a mobile services.

While I'm not a netgeek yet with a multi-homed Internet connections,
when my Internet connection becomes as critical as my phone during
emergency situations, I'd all of a sudden become very interested in
multi-homing, likely via both land line and wireless.

As the critical infrastructure converges onto the Internet, I think
multi-homing is going to become far more common than what exists today,
to the point where the majority of connections may be multi-homed.

Mark.
