Don't bring it to the airport or out shopping? Who has an open wifi network in range of their home? (I'm out of touch though, I live in the woods, and can only occasionally see my neighbor's networks, I get to use all the channels for myself, muhahaha)
> Cached ad insertion in front of the video signal from connected devices is inevitable.
Nobody is willing to run an ad program with cached ads. I tried to set one up at my previous job, because it made more sense than live ads, but nope... not going to happen; advertisers want real time control and stats.
As a data point, I run an open SSID with QoS limiting throughput to 1.5 Mbps that permits only ports 80 and 443. It's enough for someone to check their email (or homework).
I have open WiFi. If you are close enough to receive a signal from my WAP, you are already on my property (or intentionally using a high gain directional antenna.)
