I love this:
From Bruce Schneier’s “My Open Wireless Network” (Crypto-Gram: 15
January 2008):
A company called Fon has an interesting approach to this problem.
Fon wireless access points have two wireless networks: a secure one
for you, and an open one for everyone else. You can configure your
open network in either “Bill” or “Linus” mode: In the former, people
pay you to use your network, and you have to pay to use any other Fon
wireless network. In Linus mode, anyone can use your network, and you
can use any other Fon wireless network for free. It’s a really clever
idea.
