The other day, someone walked by with their dog and asked if they could get use our hose to give their dog some water. I bit the bullet, and allowed them to take $0.05 worth of water that I had paid for with my hard earned money.
Same deal here. Connectivity is getting to the point where the costs are so low, you might as well give it away to passersby, because seriously, are we really counting nickels and dimes?
Not free, but cheap enough that most of us can be generous with it.
I had a really funny experience that kind of relates. My sink had some of those poorly made fiber washers, if you weren't careful, which meant if you over-tightened or under-tightened the sink valve when you closed it, it would drip. Just a little bit, you know drip .... drip .... drip ...
Then California got this whole drought thing going and the water company was asking everyone to cut back. We fixed the faucet and saved a bit over 3% on our total overall water bill.
For me in the US I'm fortunate because water is cheap. I find I can't ignore it though.
The difference is with WiFi, someone can take $50.00 worth of service, and you wouldn't even see their face. If someone tried to come up to your house and take $50.00 of water, you'd probably notice.
