Re: Do you?

I don't blame Speakeasy at all. They don't seem to be at odds with the service, but the fact that FON stated they have reached agreements with Speakeasy that do not exist according to Speakeasy.

And this is where the problem lies, we really don't know the whole story.

Just found this.

"The largest concern we have received from our very smart board of advisers is how receptive ISP's will be to FON. Although it's not illegal to share you connection many ISP's have restrictive End User License Agreements (EULA) that prevents you from sharing with anyone outside your household. There are some exceptions to the rule, for example Speakeasy has a very open policy and even goes as far as to encourage FON users to sign up for their service. There are many ISP's that are similar to Speakeasy but the difficulty is with the major incumbents and broadband cable companies that most people use."

This is a self invented story by DSLR.

Clearly sharing any ISP's connection is going nowhere.

Move on.
