Especially if they don't have any meaningful local storage or processing, as everything has been delegated to "the cloud".
When the cable/verizon/t-mobile/at&t are all down for any signifcant length of time, I expect to be digging my neighbors our of the sorts of natural disasters that befall California and listening to the radio and maybe 2-meter.
I'm going to be somewhat contrarian, connectivity/availability with cloud services is important, where you access them from not so much. I doubt very much that reliance on the cloud drives multihoming for end-sites/consumers, it drives a demand for connectivity diversity so that one failure mode doesn't leave you stranded.In practice, however, I suspect that we as providers will just get a whole lot better at providing connectivity, rather than have everyone work out how to do fully-diverse BGP from their homes.
