        I believe one government worker did suggest
        that EAS boxes might need more than one 
        RJ45, so that two separate Internet access points
        were possible. 

        And, it was a government official who was
        "apparently" surprised to learn that  
        there were many stations with no 
        Internet access - or at best merely 
        expensive satellite connections.
