I have just been contacted by a friend who plans to set up a wireless
network to give access to several people within a local area. Does anyone
know of an ISP who caters for such a multiuser setup? I understand that most
ISPs don't allow more than one user to share te conection (officially)...
Does anyne know of any that don't mind people sharing the connection?

Thanks

Reg

I assume some sort of business contract would allow it. Companies have to
share access in their offices and public wi-fi spots also.

Why does it matter? Does your friend intend to tell his ISP he's sharing his
connection? His ISP would be unlikely to know if he's sharing within his
premises or outside of them.
