'IF' this were the case to have a fully-functional IP appliance, it would 
operate like the "on-star" system does now.  I have a problem, can you fix 
it.  and the tech in Pakistan would ssh/telnet to your appliance and do the 
repairs or send the exact problem to the local tech if physical response is 
needed.  I, of course would have to have my appliance network firewalled from 
my personal network though.
