Two years ago, sharing wireless internet access from your DSL line was fringe. Now it's differentiating broadband companies like the niche provider Speakeasy from behemoths like Time-Warner cable.
Sean's use may be fringe right now - but I could see where using a PDA and laptop at the same time would be nice. What about wi-fi/3G phones? Will T-mobile require another user account to use multiple devices carried by the same person? The demands of a single user are expanding beyond 1 laptop, 1 link. Sean is ahead of the curve, but this won't be fringe for long. I still say customer needs are the rule. Even fringe - unless you want them to move on to another company that's ready to help them. -Mike O. PS: Nice topic!

Not when the customer's needs are *fringe*, they ain't. I'm just as technically-demanding as the rest of you, and so are all my TMHS-using acquaintances; and Sean's request is the first I've heard of someone wanting to use it on two machines at once (that isn't interested in *stealing* the service, that is). -Kenny -- Kenneth R.
