- teachingassist 5y agoThere are also very legit reasons for sharing networks - the cost of sharing a connection is much less than everyone having their own connection. Two community-owned wifi connections are more reliable than one individually-owned cabled connection. ISPs have lobbied for everyone to stop sharing their own connections by over-stating the risks (rather than mitigating them), enabling password protection by default, and allowing risk to the owner to be encoded in law. And yet, ISPs are now taking some part of each connection for themselves. That's a problem. We could instead share our connections in a community-owned way.
