To clear up a misnomer, that was never corrected by Collinsworth or Michaels, the NFL runs the communication devices. It has nothing to do with the home team.

Ridiculous how they allow one team to have radios and not the other.

Although you missed his green text, you also missed a few more things. The headsets that weren't working properly were the ones used to communicate between coaches. They were still able to send the plays into the offence and defence. Once Tomlin informed the refs of the problem, the Patriots headsets to communicate between coaches were shut off as well. Both teams were on equal playing field here. As I mentioned, this was an NFL issue, not a Patriots issue.
