It seems that for these "mesh networks" to become viable for commercial use or
otherwise,each AP would need to have direct access to the inernet backbone.
Not a residential or business connection through an ISP. If ISPs get
ticked-off enough or scared enough they could easily yank the plug on your
internet access and it would be within their rights. Wether it clearly says
"no sharing or redistribution" in your subscriber agreement or not it seems
clear that the intended use of any ISPs service is on a per subscriber basis.I
beleive that this is the biggest threat to the future of interconnected wi-fi
that we have to deal. Setting up the network between APs is the easy part.
