[PLUG] Re: Robert Cringely expounds upon Linux and the WRT54G

[Barry Roomberg <broom@voicenet.com>]

Every single TOS for cable and DSL that I have seen specifically excludes 
reselling your bandwidth.  Even DSL w/ dedicated IP and the ability to put up 
servers STILL says you can't open up your connection for other people to pay 
you to access it.

The economics are BS.  The second your provider sniffs out the traffic they 
will shut you down.
