Free The Net?

These days the word dotcom has been replaced by Social Networking. You can't go through an IT magazine or a web site that doesn't mention this phenomenon and its advantages. Use masses to create value or a product or a service.

A few months ago, I got to thinking about my internet needs and the ridiculous amount of money I was spending on it. Internet is becoming so pervasive and a lot of people in the developed world can't think of living without being "connected". So, why is that it is still so expensive anyway? I mean - why shouldn't Internet be cheap or even free? Yes, a handful of companies such as Earthlink, NetZero have already done that by giving free internet but you had to put up with annoying ads. With the advent of Wireless connectivity, I use the same connection on more than one computer at home. No brainer.

So, I thought - here is an opportunity. If I can share my connection across multiple computers at home, why shouldn't I share and even resell my internet connection around my community? Good idea, I thought. I found a little later, a couple of companies like Meraki and Fon are already already doing that they have been around long enough.

Another idea that is a non-idea.
