Since everybody has their own wifi it seems that federating
all of them <br>
for pretty good coverage by a provider and charging a
nominal fee to <br>
manage it would suit a lot of people needs. It doesn't need
expensive <br>
spectrum and the real estate is "free". Basically a
federation of <br>
"guestnets".<br>

<div>the wifi access points of other xfinity users all around </div>
<div>the country, relatively seamlessly.</div>

<div>I'm sure other networks that provide their own CPE are </div>

<p>What I was thinking of is more of "over the top" where I don't
need to be an Xfinity customer (lot least of which is that I
can't). <br>
</p>
<p>It does seems that providing the CPE is inevitable though, but
for a lot of people that's feature not a bug.</p>
