In the Comcast network it uses separately-provisioned bandwidth in the access
network.

That's the worst argument against this. Of course you can opt out;
don't use the cable company's box. And adding an extra

Power consumption is going to be miniscule, especially if the consumer
opts to use the cable company's built-in

Rod, that’s exactly how they are delivering it. Unclear wether it’s over a
separately provisioned bandwidth channel, or wether it shares the aggregate
capacity of the HFC.
I tend to agree, as the only hotspot service, customer CPE is generally
inadequate. However it can be a nice supplement,

Hi,
Cable Cos do this in several ways.
Enabled hot spot on the cable provider cpe with separate ssid, sometimes the
same channel sometimes dedicated radio and channel (I prefer the same channel
as many areas have way too much noise). This hotspot service is using it's own
docsis channels and
I believe they use a separate GRE tunnel back into their network to keep it
separate from the local customers traffic.
They also do this for other ISPs that they have agreements with, Coz customers
can use the Comcast hotspots vice versa.

Comcast does exactly that in the US. Some people turn it off though. I
can't recall if just the guest hotspot can be disabled on it's own or you
have to just turn off wireless completely and use your own kit.
Probably depends on the provided gear.
Slightly off topic, but the cellular providers
