Yeah,
its jsut like a drug manuafacturer selling speed
for fat loss knowing the possible harm, and getting off teh hook because of the
little disclaimer that says, "please consult your doctor to see if this is right
for you", knowing that 99% of people would never do that, nor read the fine
print.
With a business plan targeting the sales of
millions of routers, its clear they could care less wether the end user violates
their acceptable use policy.
Are there any ISPs that allow circuit sharing,
legally? I know a number of DSL resellers that allow circut sharing, but
don;t disclose that their underlying agreement with their carrier prohibits
it.

As FON clearly has no concern for Acceptable
Use Policiies, therefore illegal activity, and AUPs are clearly allowable
and enforcable contracts.
Strategically its a great time for FON to
release their venture, to test the rules, the public, and
ISPs.
Wow, have any of you actually reviewed their site? OMFG
the sky is falling <hands waving>! You may be interested in http://en.fon.com/biz/isps_friends.php.
Also,
the Terms and Conditions of Use CLEARLY states:
4. Prior
Requirements
The user that opts for the Linus or Bill category, should,
prior to accepting these
T&Cs and before registering with the FON
Community:
(i) have a FON Social Router or a router that is compatible with
the FON
Software and (ii) have a contract with an ISP that permits the
FONero to share
bandwidth.
Best,
