Start an internet contract brokerage where the "broker" handles all the contract negotiations, including the speed and price for all their members, contests incorrect billings, and doesn't let their promotional price lapse.  The representative will get everyone's billing contract onto the same date and then negotiate when the contract comes up for renewal.  The leverage will let them get better deals, and they can threaten to leave the company.  The salesperson will be likely to cave under the pressure of losing 100 accounts at one time.

The brokerage would also recommend dropping unnecessary services or explaining how to get those services cheaper and easier from third party providers, such as leaving aol, using a home line via google voice, home security via blink, and buy your own modem off amazon.  The brokerage could take the slower modems back and sell them to slow package customers if the high end customers buy a really fast modem for fast internet packages.

This would reduce a lot of scams that prey on the elderly.  It would be a boon for municipal fiber companies that don't have the marketing dollars of the big companies that offer an inferior product.

States should create a lottery, where homeowners can pay $1 more on their state taxes to be put into a pool of money.  The winner gets a home renovation that upgrades to code (including amnesty for any work done without a permit) and energy efficiency.  New windows, energy efficient furnace, etc. The program would strengthen the state's housing stock, make living spaces safer, and reduce wasted energy.
A smartphone that's able to be docked at a workstation (two monitors, full keyboard, mouse, and office style phone with headset).  It will keep all of your work information on one physical space- backed up online- but a more convenient size than a surface/chromebook. Hotdesking is going to become more popular in the future, even though employers should not use it as an excuse to reduce the employees home station.
Workplaces need a calendar function for work functions that allows employees to choose available, tentative, or unavailable so they're able to let the company know if they're able to accomplish those specific offsite duties.  If the employees keep their availability up to date, it would make scheduling multi-worker events easier.
