no zleet, if the people themselves do not open their own routers for others to use also, they themselves can not use other peoples routers, without paying 3$. if you dont chip in, you dont get anything free. basically.

Sorry i’ve just woke up so let me see if I understand this correctly.

You pay for your broadband, get a router that allows you to have two distinct wireless signals. Then out of the goodness of your heart open one of these signals so people can check their emails and such while on the move. Then these people using YOUR broadband that YOU PAY FOR may get charged $3 per day, money that you will never see.

I still may be a little sleep addled but something seems a little off here.

How do you get a free one ?
I was invited but I have to pay half the price. I can’t receive it for free?

Considering the cost of cable, not sure I’d call it free. Wonder if they planned for the impact of having more saturated cable nodes, since people will be wandering in and out of local nodes.

Also wonder if they’re getting rid of their data transfer cap. Used to be something silly like 40g/mo.

As I see it, it wont be free anything after this. Little by little they will start to charge..
