Re: Making money

"Every person in the UK who agrees to share a small portion of their home broadband connection will be able to share the connection of any other member. "

Why... Why would I want to share my connection with someone else who already has their own connection. I'm simply not understanding the huge benefit of sharing your connection with everyone around you for free.

The point is you can share when you are away from home. Near where I live, there is an apartment building with a busy Starbucks in the basement. That means if you are a Linus you get free Wifi there or you can pay less to use it than Starbucks' T-Mobile wireless. Granted, as a Bill, you don't make money on them, but I'm sure there are other people that would pay for the usage. It really only works in dense area's. No one would use it if you are on your own 5 acres of land.
