TV satellite, TV cable, and TV broadcast are NOT compatible. Neither is Blu-Ray and DVD completely compatible with region and hardware-license restrictions. Cell phones interconnect, but the networks aren't 'compatible' hardwares. As for internet, YES, that's a compatibility layer for networks. It isn't generally the one phones, utility meters, and TV broadcast use, though.

Make no sense whatsoever. First there is diversity for security if your one for all thing is down, nothing works. Then there are radio frequencies like used by aircraft, ships, and other services that have totally different requirements. Use the best system for the required purpose and frequency. Make sure there is redundancy. You are just dreaming. Mindless babble, no in depth knowledge, no experience. US itself always wants to be 'different' we came with DVB-T for terrestrial, US wanted ATSC. Market protection really, same way other way around, we had PAL but France wanted Secam. PAL was better (and better than NTSC).
Over-standardization, forcing things by law, like EU now does force Apple(and I am no Apple fan) to give up whats it called they have for some USB connector hinders innovation.
Once your same for all system is in place that is like pouring you in concrete :-) Man where do I get all this after 4 hour sleep early in the morning.
Yeah, but the TV isn't cable-ready, nor satellite-ready, you need a leased or purchased translation box. You cannot switch without a proprietary box and some license restrictions.
It was hard (took legislation) to get phones unlocked, but your phones are still unlikely to support using two SIMs at the same time. Unless software-SIM gets a boost, it'll never go to three or more. Buying into ONE at a time, that's supported.
If it makes sense, someone will claim they have it. And that someone is a salesman you might not want to do business with.

I don't think humans have the capacity to imagine the impossible. What we deem impossible is just what we are unable to do at the current stage of our knowledge. There probably is a limit to how far our knowledge can go so there will always be impossible things - for us... :)
Aha! You said 'likely'; that's not a good sign, when John Larkin gets statistical. As for me, I'm not eager to let the world have access to my alarm clock's controls. Short-range access is my best plan.
Global unlimited connection may be possible, but is unworthy of support.
Where the hell is my flying car? My baseline is the 1964 World's Fair. I was in high school so maybe I was young and naive but there was a feeling in the air of optimism. There have been plenty of technological advances but that optimism didn't even make it through the '60s.
John Larkin has an exaggerated idea of his own expertise. So do a lot of the people who insist that stuff is impossible.
There's a big gap between imagining things that haven't been done - the unexpected - and imagining things that can't be done - the impossible.
The first gets you patents - and I've got a couple (while John Larkin has his name on one) and the other is a great way of getting stuck with a project that can't be made to work. I had to work quite hard to get myself out of one of them
It's probably not a particularly useful mental exercise.
There's many uses of imagination, but fewer for imagining impossibilities. The most important, the reductio ad absurdam proof, is ... not so important that most people would recognize the phrase.
