Re: Giving away WiFi to neighbors breaks TOS for most ISPs

I don't imagine this will fly with most(not all) ISPs. I expect that one or more ISPs will make a point of disconnecting a number of users and publicizing that fact to scare off the majority of users from taking part.
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.
