Wait until these companies partner with Comcast to get default access to the ever present Xfinity public hotspot.
Sure you might deny it privileged to your network but for a profit share I might let it access mine.

- sigjuice 7y agoHow does one block the traffic?
- APock 7y agoMost routers allow some kind of traffic denial, even the home use ones. But I guess you could get a rpi and set it up as a firewall or something
- sigjuice 7y agoI wouldn’t put it past the TV makers to aggressively evade firewalls, latch on to public WiFi or include a secret cellular modem that they bury in the finest of fine print.
- edwhitesell 7y agoI doubt you'd get a profit share. When the idea of all of those 'CableWiFi' networks started, it was because the cable operators wanted a separate network. It usually runs on a separate circuit so it won't interfere with the customer's bandwidth.
- tehlike 7y agoThe point they were making was using this cablewifi, tv will be able to send data back without requiring your WiFi password.
