[OpenWireless Tech] Mobile 4G service with sharing

[Davidfine]

So, this is the future if the open wireless movement fails.  4G hotspots 
are a symptom of the problem - like having to wear a spacesuit when you 
leave the house because there's no shared atmosphere. It's a solution 
for a few people at a time, but not a good way to scale.
I captured 2660 SSIDs on my bus ride to work. If sharing them were safe 
and easy enough to be the default, we wouldn't need the spacesuits. 
Except maybe when we go to other planets like New Mexico.

P.S. Let's work on making it safe and easy to share WiFi, both 
technically and politically.
