One of the key reasons for me to get a new fast DSL connection in my home office was to have an open WiFi hotspot for all my friends coming over with their laptops. Many existing ISP contracts exclude explicitly the reselling of the DSL connection. Ultimately they will change this policy and allow any private or commercial reuse of their connection although it might mean that this new multi-user customer consumes many many GBs. That's what we call ubiquitous digital lifestyle. In fact, fon and ISPs match nicely.

If you have any leads please pass them on to me at martin@fon.es Regards, Ezra,

Have you talked to Comcast? They are pretty much the ruling ISP here in the southeast USA. They are just mad because they didn’t think of it. Have you talked to Comcast?
