If so, then paragraph 2 states:

rules and regulations and in accordance with the Fee Schedule and Policies.
[...]
*Unlessagreed in writing by MegaPath, Subscriber shall not resell or

Am I missing something?

All:
As of yesterday, we have a new Internet connection originating at my
house <http://map.sudomesh.org/select/phorzaith/>, and shared with
Jake's and Marc's (is that LiveLabs2? Y'all ain't on the map!) and other
neighbors.
There are a few significant bits of news here. I may be repeating myself
on some of this:
- We're using Megapath business services as our ISP. In our case,
they're reselling Comcast cable service -- the only reasonable/available
option here. They are good because (1) there is no restriction on sharing
or even reselling service; (2) it includes a Service Level Agreement, i.e.
guaranteed uptime threshold. All that (especially #2) means that it's
somewhat more expensive than other options, but we don't care -- it fits
our needs. And having at least one node we can talk about very publicly,
without fear of ISP objections, seems very worthwhile.
- The account is in Sudo Mesh's name, meaning that we could
theoretically set up additional nodes. (But in practice, I will be paying
the bills and collecting others' share -- so let's only do that if we have
rock-solid payment processes in place first.)
- We're dividing this up in an interesting way, that might be a
useful model. Marc and I are serving as "primary node sponsors" because we
each rely on the connection for our work. We are taking responsibility for
making sure the bill gets paid, even if others don't participate. In
addition, we have up to four other households (in my house and next door)
that we hope to join in, paying $30/month each. All have agreed at least
tentatively. And if they do participate, we can extend the availability of
the free #peoplesopen.net SSID from their homes too! The neighbors
like both the idea of cheap Internet, and the idea that they are helping
promote a social good.
- I wrote up a one-page explanation for those neighbors. I'll post a
sanitized version of it on the wiki soon; hopefully it can help serve as a
model for other neighbor arrangements.
- As it turned out, one of the neighbors (Frank) had FOUND the free
WiFi node already, canceled his ISP, looked up the People's Open web site,
and was enthusiastic about the idea before I even brought it up to him! He
also paid his first month proactively, as soon as I suggested the idea. So,
this is a good indication that our idea is working!!
Thought you'd all enjoy knowing about this. Please feel free to hit me up
with questions or ideas!
Awesome! Hurraaay for an ISP that allows sharing!
