| Let customers build infrastructure How about if DSL providers gave each of their customers a router with wireless access point? Include software to authenticate users. Allow any subscriber to the DSL provider use any of these WAPs on a "space available" basis (subscriber whose line it is on would have priority). Further, multiple DSL subscribers in a neighborhood could share bandwidth through the wireless links. Your wireless card would find the WAPs on your providers DSL in your neighborhood and spread the load across multiple WAPs. Everyone gets faster service. And the customers build the hot spot infrastructure.
