Three thoughts on this.
1. Paul Featherstone is correct. Is not there some business model in Spain where people earn a discount on their ISP bill if they open their networks?
2. It is difficult not to see this a Police Marketing exercise. An excuse to get some media coverage. At times it came across as Ed Roberts that featured on 2 BBC shows didn't believe it himself.
If Ed Roberts came to my door claiming to be a Police Officer I am not sure I'd let him in.
3. How do we compare this issue with the massive amount fraud facilitated by the banks retaining the magnetic strip on the reverse of the new Chip and Pin cards.
Shouldn't the Police and the FSA be slapping down the banks for using such an insecure International Standard for Credit Cards?
