His argument is invalid because not all ISPs have acceptable use policy
that ban further sharing. For example in Prague we bought a 1Mbps full
duplex line and shared it among 25 households using wired Ethernet,
Ronja and WiFi, and it was in accordance with the provider, the provider
even knew well detais of how it was realized. The provider partially
de-shaped the stream and allowed us to do the shaping by us in a custom
way we liked as long as we didn't exceed the 1Mbps short-time average
speed.
