Is WiFi / Bandwidth Property?

Mike Kuniavsky at Orange Cone has whipped up an interesting post on bandwidth, WiFi and the concepts of ownership and property.

People don't have a framework within which to evaluate the pros and cons of sharing bandwidth with strangers--what does it mean to me if someone uses some of the bits I'm paying for? So they retreat to a concept they understand, a mapping of their relationship to their property to their bandwidth. I'm not comfortable letting someone I don't know set up their lawn chair on my front lawn, even if it doesn't hurt me or my lawn, so why should I let them freeload on my bandwidth? Or, at least, that's how I feel the thinking goes.

Take a look, leave a comment -- I did.
