Companies on the other hand probably do not want that happening in their networks. I would just like to offer a warning here that if this person forgets to turn off the WiFi sharing service while visiting a important customer and/or his/her own company, that would help to create unanticipated security risks. Perhaps a hardware router that must be plugged in/off the wall would inherently ensure that this doesn't happen inadvertently. -- Giovanni Tirloni
