Why? Just carry a dongle and when that is not in the vicinity of the house switch of certain circuits. What do you need the internet for?

> Just carry a dongle

The problem is nobody wants to carry a dongle. Also, localizing the dongle inside the house is not as straightforward. Would the users need to put one dongle-detector in each room? one near each exit? If it has long transmission range, then it would probably be big/heavy due to larger batteries.

Why a dongle? Lets just embed a chip into everyone at birth.
