Kind of like a distributed league of entropy? Seems a bit impractical and overkill, but also extremely awesome.
Maybe we could somehow get a Bluetooth broadcast data manufacturer code reserved for just spewing randomness.
Not at all secure, but if you mix it with a good mixer it can't hurt, and it can't be hacked by anyone out of state, or out of the 800ft range if they lack a giant antenna.
Maybe a really simple network random protocol could be defined. Just a UDP packet where you send N bytes of entropy, the receiver mixes it in their state, and sends you back N bytes. Randomly once every 60 minutes you multicast 32 bytes.
I'd prefer as few americium sources around as absolutely needed for fire safety though, but maybe it's better than where they normally go(The trash, I'd imagine, whether or not that's legal). Maybe half silvered mirrors and avalanche diodes?
Raw unprocessed live quantum bits as a service are pretty cool for non-security related things too.
