At the consumer level, low data SIMs in Canada aren’t price competitive, hence my desire to cut out télécoms wherever possible. Indeed, Free.fr let’s their mobile customers connect to any of their fixed-network subscriber’s wifi with appropriate segmentation. Educational users can connect to eduroam at any participating institution. I think Fon tried to go down this road, but no go.
