"they refused to disable is saying it was a service to the public, bla bla bla." I know how much your country (rightfully) hates Comcast but this should be a good thing. Take off your blinders for a second and look at the good things an Opt-Out Guest (my assumption) WiFi network could do. 1. Adoption of ubiquitous internet hotspots by customers for public use. It shouldn't affect your personal bandwidth because you'd be getting priority over guests. 2. Accessibility of potential emergency services without cellular networks. Which provides an option not to use a carriers service. More choice and competition could be amazing. 3. Lowering the legal barriers of opting into being a public hotspot (many ISPs are against it) 4. New potential developer opportunities like updating maps and such for travelers. 5. Herd Immunity when it comes to flimsy IP Address based legal attack vector. Fighting this in court is a huge pain/cost. 6. It could be more economic for customers to distribution their internet for a fee? Which would enable higher quality while the cost is distributed. 7. Provoke more conversation about emphasizing internet privacy/security without using locked routers which doesn't protect users from determined local attackers. I don't know if this is what they're enabling or not but it's food for thought.
