Here is an even better one. This one recycles the power when it loses contact with the internet.
Depending on its definition of "lose contact with the Interent", that could result in interesting failure modes - everything from hundreds of them bouncing boxes if an upstream router has a BGP flap, to thousands of them DDoS'ing the test point, and then bouncing boxes... It probably also interacts badly with power monitoring hardware/software that labels too many power "faults" in a period of time as a danger situation and holds off on bringing boxes back online until stability is restored....
