Speakeasy Introduces Broadband WiFi Sharing Plan

Posted by timothy on from the distributed-profit-center dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Today, speakeasy (the greatest ISP ever) sent out a letter from the CEO introducing their NetShare Wi-Fi plan. It lets you share your broadband with your neighbors, with Speakeasy handling the billing and splitting the fee 50/50. More ISPs should be like this!"
