Re: Bleh.
Nice work. I'm glad to see ISPs like Sonic.net offering these types of services. It is a win for the company on their customers. |

said by TKJunkMail  :And I hope the ISPs disconnect their service if they do. I guess you didn't see this:
The San Francisco network, for example, can feature one DSL line that supports anywhere from 10 to 50 repeaters. With the mesh structure, Meraki also can reroute traffic to avoid any malfunctioning antennas. This gives the network stability and reach at a low cost. With the San Francisco project, Meraki also will pay for the Internet access so users won't be asked to share their personal Internet connection.

I hope my dumbass neighbor puts one of these up so I can dump my DSL and get a free ride off him.
The ISP's may not care now, but if this idea takes off you can bet they will go fishing for these things and shut them down.
Maybe those who think this is such a wonderful idea won't mind letting the neighbors borrow their car, washing machine, lawnmower....

said by guhuna :No problem.  BTW my ISP would LOVE for me to set this unit up in my home. In fact my ISP is selling the same exact unit! I see cable CO's complaining about this. » public.meraki.com/network/Sonic.netWiFi We're doing this in partnership with our customers - sharing the cost of the hardware, and any revenue from the Wi-Fi network.
The upside is that we know the IPs that the hardware is on, and can shield our customers when subpoenas come our way. We know it's Wi-Fi use (and the MAC address of the "bad" user), so law enforcement can be pointed the right direction.
Also, by sharing any revenue, we cover the ISP costs (bandwidth and ATM capacity), while also compensating the customer for hosting it.
What Meraki's "Free the Net" initiative is doing is different. There is no partnership with the provider and no revenue share to the customer/host either. I'm not sure that's sustainable.
