"how cheap?"

it depends -- whether you're talking about retail, or the bare bones prices 
being demanded by NSPs from box vendors and whether or not these NSPs have a 
broad and popular suite of homenet services to allow subsidizing the boxes

The overall point here is that these boxes probably have to hit very 
inexpensive price points...easily sub $50 to the NSPs

Great, let's just do a USB port then!   :)

Seriously, if you make a device cheap enough, it simply won't be able to do 
homenet.   The question is, how cheap is that?
