[ILUG] There's one for everyone in the audience - and even for those who weren't

[Kevin Brennan]

Well let's ask and see, I posted the following question to 
http://www.askcomreg.ie/about_us/form.asp

"
Hello,
I have a broadband Internet connection in my home and I would like to 
share it with the general public using a normal residential wi-fi 
router. I will be using the fon service to to do this, please see the 
link for details - http://en.fon.com/

I understand from reading your website if I provide a public service 
like this I am obliged to register with comreg. I have established from 
my ISP that this does not contravene their terms and conditions but 
would like to be sure I am acting under regulations. Can you please 
clarify this for me.
