How many people will connect without the correct security so that any man and his dog can steal their information.

We're not talking about an open network here. Since it'll be encrypted and accessible only by logging in with your registration details, it should not be significantly different from any other Internet connection from a security point of view.

It should be great for anyone who rents or shares a house, as well as being ideal for browsing on the move.

My only real question regards unfair competition.
