Comcast XFINITY WiFi: Just say No


from Michael Horowitz at COMPUTER WORLD, an educational blog, heavy on facts.

"Here I will cover the obvious downsides to the service ...

Focused on Defensive Computing as I am, XFINITY WiFi seems like a bad idea for Comcast customers, both those offering the free Wi-Fi on their routers and those using the system away from home. If you read this entire article to the end (warning: it's long), I am sure you will agree."

I found it scary in many ways. Comcast is already publishing the addresses of CV wifi spots.  It is easy for bad guys to get automatically signed in, do something illegal, and an innocent Comcast customer is in for all kinds of hell.  
Note: I would trust Michael H. far more than a salesman.
