It would be neat if they offered a discount for them being wireless access points accessible to other Google Fiber customers.
I'm not sure about the Android part, just because it would be almost impossible to prevent someone from running all connections in a house through an Android device and get free internet.
- hrkristian 13y agoI don't know, I've used my phone as an internet hub, and the sheer heat from pulling that amount of data through the antennas while charging seems like a great way to drastically shorten the lifespan of a phone. Granted, I did this with an old Galaxy S (it ran upwards of 80°c), which has its antenna and power supply right beside each other.
- dm2 13y agoYeah, but if Google started offering free high-speed WiFi then someone would make a "DIY Android Hub" which had a better antenna, better cooling, and possibly even ethernet ports.
