Story: BT creates nationwide Wi-Fi sharing community
Is your world still flat?
I would hope that before these comments were posted a quick check of the BT site was made... but obviously not!!
The other FON users accessing your HomeHub do so on what is, in essence, a VLAN with a seperate WiFi channel and, I believe, seperate IP addressing schema. Any activity by a passing user is identifiable as that user, and not the households.
As for the Film/Record industries worries, I'm sure that your local Neighbourhood Watch members will report the white van that's been sitting outside No. 42 for 18 hours while he downloads the latest blockbuster on the NOT guaranteed maximum of 512kbps link that he will share with any other FON users conspriring to bring Sony to there knees!!
Rather than looking for issues with this idea, why not embrace the first step in the arrival of the true Global Village... with the recent WiMAX/3G anouncement, the increase un HSPA, UMA and Edge devices being offered to the unsuspecting public isn't about time we found a way to use them without paying the exorbitant fees levied by the mobile providers?
Well done BT!! Who's got the nerve to follow suit?
