Re: Bleh.
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.
