A colleague of mine is a very enthusiastic user of Fon in Europe. This 
is a system of WiFi equipped routers which share the bandwidth securely 
between the customer who has the device in their home and nearby users:

It is unfortunate that a WiFi sharing facility was not built into the 
NBN. That way customers would not need any extra equipment or cabling to 
use the service.
