This remind me another tech story among the go-go 90s. A SV firm is inventing a small-like-matchbox router so ppl could place them anywhere and connected with some hundreds k wireless connection(forget it's early wifi technology or other things) to make the world to be a fully connected blue potato. now this MyZone service, seems to be another interesting cousin to that old one. imagine, based on report from Forrest Research, said 15% family in the states has broadband at home, so imagine in a explosive way, what if 1/10 of those family use other similiar service as MyZone to not only share w/ neighbours about broadband, but also make some $$ from this. what if establish a public private network that no need go through the firewall of the ISP? what if those filesharing P2P service rely on this? even the FBI can't control this, who could really say neighbourr's computer means public computer? os since if I lend my video tape to neigherbour that I bought from the market is legal, why cant I copy Mp3 file from my CD then share w/ my neighbour? what about to neighbours' neighbour's neighbour? so it might finally result in creation of another WIternet, no one could control. interesting, at least I could start thinking of use WiFi to connect the dorm building to be a hotbed for Quake online, CS online, FiFa online, Mp3 online and even play DVD from a shared DVD player without "illegally download" the file...
