Rolling DSL and Wireless Access Out In One Swoop

Rumours have it that every home that installs gets a wireless router and an antenna on the roof - effectively expanding Vista's wireless network at the same time. If enough people sign up, this would allow seamless wireless coverage for the whole area *at a profit* to Vista."

    Not to worry. You're one of the "elite status" if you have a creit card, since I don't know of anyone who has one.

    No, there is no issue. Your network traffic would not be broadcast out the wireless adapter. You're an idiot and no nothing about networking.
