maybe the bussiness model of shared bandwidth is the flaw in

the way to go -- a lot more energy conserving than whining about

The problem is with the flatrates. Flatrates are much more cheaper
than the bandwith you could use up with your connection. So the
business modell only works as long as they can base their
calculation on a one-average-user-per-connection concept.
If they'd just bill by traffic, there would be no reason not to
allow sharing your connection.
