Power Over Ethernet EVERYWHERE (PoE-Everywhere)

Single CAT-5 cable provides galvanically isolated network connection & power.
PoE (IEEE-802.3af) delivers 12W usable power to gadget.
PoE-Plus (IEEE-802.3at) delivers 24W usable power to gadget.
International standard, the only power connector approved globally.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_power_systems#Table_of_mains_voltages_and_frequencies
Design, manufacture, market, and use identical products globally.
Low-voltage, homeowner/resident installable, CAT-5/6 cabeling.
Homeowner labor installing PoE cabling increases their home's value.
It is virtually impossible for a home to have too much CAT-5/6 cabling.
PoE's low voltage DC is maximally efficient powering/controlling LED lighting.
Everything exists, it's just a case of deciding to attack/build the market.
