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 SSID to an already-operating access point (and additional traffic when it used) is going to be difficult to even measure as a power utilization difference. If it increased power by an average of one watt (which I really doubt it'd be that high), that's less than 7 cents per month where I live. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]>
