Net access? The article talks about homes that have had the copper wiring stripped from them. (Actually -- I do want to do a full reno of a house one of these days)... how do you get onto the Tubes?

Running copper from the telephone pole to your house is provided by the phone company.

Many cities require a permit and inspection before you can get hooked up to utilities. So gas and electricity will be harder and more expensive.
