This why connect houses will fail today
COST. Look at the how much it costs just to get a house wired for cable tv, phone and electricty. Then to rewire an older home is purely cost prohibitive.

So really it's not that there is no use for this but people will make up excuses like it's stupid just to make them feel better about not being able afford something that could be really cool.
