2) I heard recently of ppl openly sharing their broadband connection using 802.11 access points, Airports etc among friends, neighbors, coworkers. I can see where your DSL or cable company would be a little more concerned about losing revenue like this, over just 2 or 3 PCs sharing at one domestic location.
www.freenetworks.org The movement is quite large, and the implications of its continued growth are interesting. Perhaps this is the ultimate target? Community-owned networks are mildly free-riding for the time being. New DOCSIS specs give finer control on bandwidth usage which is more important than IP addresses. Comcast "hunting" NAT users - sounds like strong language, but I think the SlashDot reference has been pummeled enough. No residental SP should be burning support $$ for residential NAT, so a "public" policy of either charging for it or not supporting it sounds like good business to me. It's not very enforceable, so I'd be very surprised to see much money spent on this witch hunt. Marc (new to list)
