Is this some speed of light thingy? We just found out about it and therefore it happens now and not 99 million year ago when it actually was new?
We must have found it via a mirror 49.5 million lightyears away. Thats the only way something on earth can happen 99 million year ago at the same time as it's happens right now.
That's his point. They are giving the routers away to "average users" instead of asking "average users" to install a custom firmware on any old random router. If an user installs a custom firmware on their router they are not an "average user".

The difference here is that you pay with SMS and you don't need to print anything. Just write the code you get in the returing sms on your envelope.
1. Send SMS with a simple code ("Inrikes"/"Utrikes" and weight) to Posten. Something like "IN100", "UT200" etc. 2. Receive SMS with code from Posten. 3. Write that code on the envelope.
No need for any computer, smartphone, printer, credit card, online identification etc. You just need any old dumbphone that can send SMS.
Besides, if you were planning to go through all the trouble to pre-print codes on the envelopes, why not just add the cost of postage to the cost of the envelopes and skip the whole 'activation' bit?
We already have those in Sweden. Padded envelopes for max 2kg, and normal envelopes for max 100g. http://www.posten.se/m/kuvert
