In the US at least you have to authenticate with your Comcast credentials and not like a traditional open wifi where 
you can just make up an email and accept the terms of service.  I also understand that it is a different IP than the 
subscriber.  Based on this the subscriber should be protected from anyone doing anything illegal and causing the SWAT 
team to pay a visit.

You are absolutely correct.

Now..they are doing this on your electric bill and taking up space (albeit a small amount of it) in your home.

The blog cited is at http://speedify.com/%20blog/comcast-public-hotspot-cost/. As you can see it uses two separate 
devices; it is not similar to our residential service.
