I like this idea.  Provided that all runs are less than 50 meters, wire
everything for db15/e-net.   Use db15 <--> db25 adapter cables (I am sure
you will have to make these up yourself), and as users move to workstations,
use a fan-out box to connect them to the coax.    I would also think that 
this cable would be good enough for any twisted pair networking schemes 
that come along...
