[Rein Petersen]

Hey Max,

Thanks for responding. I agree with you on FON model - in Toronto (
WirelessToronto.ca) we don't support a fee model of any sort and prefer the
notion of ubiquitous free wireless for users.

But the idea of federating Wifidog users (say using RADIUS) is an appealing
notion and why I CC'd the Wifidog list. I'm hopeful it will gain support.
