Morroja:
What is your opinion about that? We've already said what we think about it...

My previous posting was in response to the quote below:

"Plus as others have hinted at, if you have all this equipment you could do it yourself and not pay anyone else! It's not that hard to set up a WiFi network and with a few hundred dollars and the broadband connection anyone could do so. "

After reading the site through, I couldn't find anything in there regarding franchise fees and the like. As a provider, you don't have to pay anyone anything. Reselling arguments aside (which will hopefully be addressed soon), I think that the value here is that unless you can write your own software to manage your access point and then have some vehicle for advertising it, then you probably can't expect other people to know about it (much less charge them for using it).

thoughts?
