But who actually ends up paying the bill for free bandwidth? And what about
the equipment (wireless cards, wireless base stations (whatever), tower
rental, routers, etc. etc. etc.)? SOMEBODY pays... a backer, or we'd have to
charge for all this free stuff, etc..

Heh, we run our own encrytion.
I remember a few months ago they had a big to-do, some wireless company held
a demo of their stuff (I posted it to here, actually, but didn't make it to
the show), Buddy D. was there, etc. etc., but earlier that particular day,
the announcement came out that WEP had been cracked.
If you run wireless, understand that someone at times will be stealing your
bandwidth. It's one of the hazards of running wireless. Shame on you if you
don't run your own encrytion (ssh, ssl, ipsec, pgp, whatever) and you get
sniffed.
