If you provide for-pay access, you have to block free-riders, which is what a "captive portal" can do for you. If instead you intend to make money from selling equipment, you will have to block people from using equipment from other sources. The traditional way to do this is to use non-standard, proprietary technology, e.g. IBM mainframes using EBCDIC terminals instead of standard ASCII.
