Which ISPs Allow Sharing?


Which ISPs Allow Sharing? 05/20/2004 01:12 PM
Some Internet service providers allow connections to be shared, but they're few and far between: I mentioned in passing yesterday that Speakeasy Networks was the only ISP to encourage sharing access to anyone and everyone for any of their personal or business DSL and T-1 accounts. Dana Spiegel of NYCwireless wrote in to note that three New York providers allow sharing. She also pointed to PersonalTelco's run-down on ISPs and their sharing policies, but the information is largely out of date, or includes ISPs as allowing sharing which have only confirmed this by phone or in email but not in their AUP. EFF had a list as well which they've intended to update for two years, and may happen soon. I don't take a statement from an ISP via email or by phone that sharing is permitted as legitimate: it has to be in the publicly posted terms of service. NYCwireless lists Bway.Net, Cloud9.Net, and Ace DSL. I checked their terms of service to see how they word it. Bway.net explicitly allows it, but you have to notify them to be legit. Cloud9.Net doesn't really state you can share, and you can read their terms to state you can't. They say, in summary: The customer may permit a member of their immediate household to use the customer's account subject to the account holder's supervision and the customer agrees that Cloud 9 reserves the right to prevent other Internet users from accessing its network, either in part or in whole, for any reason. Ace's policies are even vaguer, making it a gray issue that you can share a connection. But they do say In conjunction with the terms of Section "III c.", above, I agree not to resell any of the Services provided hereunder or the passwords thereto; Speakeasy allows resale of any part of any connection. You can help compile a newer list of sharing-friendly ISPs: email me if you're an ISP that specifically allows sharing in your usage agreement or if you work with such an ISP. Please include a link to the terms of service Web page for confirmation....

Regulate ISPs Now


Regulate ISPs Now 02/01/2005 09:44 PM
I keep thinking about our experience at Christmas, when we set up my Mom for broadband, and the local ISP thought it was just fine to send her home with a DSL modem to plug into her Win98 box; no warnings, no education, no firewalls. This is just not OK. We have all sorts of regulation in place to ensure that drivers are equipped with reasonably safe gear and have some basic education on how to proceed safely. Similarly, we regulate residential construction and investment dealers and employers and manufacturers, and this is a good thing. So I think we need some legislation in place that says if someone’s computer gets hacked through no fault of their own and inflicts damage on some Internet user somewhere, the ISP is liable for that damage unless they can show they took some minimal effort to explain to their customers that the Internet is a dangerous place, but that you can be safe if you follow a few simple precautions.

UK May Require ISPs To Tag Porn 06/07/2004 11:45 PM
Following the news that BT is going to make an effor t to block all child porn, there's news that UK telecom regulator Ofcom is floating an idea to have ISPs tag content as being potentially "adult" in nature to make it easier to filter out. It's not hard to figure out the many reasons why this plan sounds like both a waste of time and money. ISPs are never going to be able to effectively tag the content. For all the filters already out there, none of them work all that well. Having people sit there and actually review the content is more effective than any automated system, but it's also slow, expensive, and very, very subjective.
