Nope. Requiring your neighbor to read and therefore light their lamp is a different story though.

- inglor_cz 5y agoThe comparison to Wi-Fi is a bit strained, though. Lamp light escaping out of the window does not hurt the neighbor at all. He isn't any better or worse off if the escaped rays of light serve someone else for reading or just inconvenience the local cats in heat. If I hook to someone else's Wi-Fi, I am degrading his bandwidth. Depending on what I download/upload, possibly significantly so. And if I am unscrupulous enough to spread illegal content (such as child porn) over his Wi-Fi, I am setting him up for an unexpected rendezvous with SWAT. That said, the article probably wants to conclude that employers should pay for utilities such as Internet connection when their employees work from home. I wholeheartedly agree, though a certain ceiling on the total cost should be in order (there is no need why a random accountant would need a 1 Gbps connection paid wholly by their employer).
- andreareina 5y agoThe relationship of the opening story to the whole rest of the article is strained, tbh.
- kelseyfrog 5y agoIf my neighbor had a QoS config which meant my use did not degrade their bandwidth, then it would be ok?
