Easy for non-techs?
The challenge is getting the different networks to work together and in such a way that is easy for non-technical people to understand.

Never mind the non-techs, how about the techs? The sad fact is that all of these products have far more invested in preventing us from using them than they have in making themselves useful. That's why none of them work with any of the others.

I'd be happy just to be able to hook up my speakers over a wireless connection to the stereo or PC. Alas, nobody dares sell a simple set of speakers that will accept a simple streamed version of my CD collection -- anyone who did would have the RIAA on their doorstep with a regiment of lawyers to bankrupt them in minutes.

Never mind that the copies are the easy part.
