Re: Why care?

Right on the mark!

Smart ISP's don't care, matter of fact, they encourage it. The ones who are whining, are the ones who were stupid enough to offer *unlimited* for $59.95. There is no way to pay for the bandwidth at those prices.

While a T1 only runs at about 1.5 megabits, $1000.00 a month is right on the mark.

I think that is the only way Wi-Fi is gonna fly. What cracks me up, is that there are... er... uh... I mean were so many ISP's offering cheap unlimited bandwidth without a thought about who is gonna pay for it. It is equally funny how many people think that wireless will be free. Somebody has got to pay for it.

A good ISP would be happy to have you as a client because it appears that you have a clue what's going on.

  Why do the ISPs care?

Suppose I get a T1, 10 megabits up and down, for suppose $1000 a month(I don't know T1 pricing). I share it with 20 people, and they all pay me. The ISP is still getting their $1000 a month so what are they complaining for? They'll still be getting all the money they were getting before.
