New European Union (EU) telecoms legislation will allow broadband users the ability to share their connection and costs with neighbours. One wireless provider in particular, MyZones, is already gearing itself up for the change:
From July 25 however the licensing requirements will be replaced by a more general 'authorisation' process, allowing MyZones to go live with a service that allows punters to share their broadband costs with their neighbours.
MyZones allows customers to share Wi-Fi broadband throughout their own home and also with neighbours who can pick up their Wi-Fi signal. This greatly reduces costs.
A typical MyZones customer would have full always on 512K broadband service for two people sharing at £17.62 per month, three people for £11.74 per month, four people for £8.81 per month (all charges include VAT).It'll be interesting to see whether or not this method becomes popular. More @
