>From Bruce Almighty's article in Wired,

"A company called Fon has an interesting approach to this problem. Fon 
wireless access points have two wireless networks: a secure one for you, and 
an open one for everyone else. You can configure your open network in 
either "Bill" or "Linus" mode: In the former, people pay you to use your 
network, and you have to pay to use any other Fon wireless network. In Linus 
mode, anyone can use your network, and you can use any other Fon wireless 
network for free. It's a really clever idea."

There is no single government agency that views sustainability through a broad 
lens, taking into account the values of the people affected by government 
decisions. Any model of sustainability that is driven solely by an economic 
engine is deficient if it is incapable of taking into account social values. 

Mr. Justice David Vickers, BC Supreme Court in Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British 
Columbia,2007
