As long as Telefonica customers only use other Telefonica links within WiFi range, Telefonica can ensure it will have no effect on BCP38. Worst case, I can "ddos" the guy in the next apartment by spoofing his address. Best case, they ensure the BeWifi software disallows such things. And I don't see other broadband networks allowing Telefonica customers to ride their links. I also wonder why Telefonica would do this as opposed to telling people to upgrade their DSL? -- TTFN, patrick
