Game Theory
When I first heard of the FON concept it struck me there was an inherent contradiction:
- It's useful to be able to use other people's WiFi when out and about.
- It's tempting to disable the service on your own kit to preserve all that bandwidth for yourself.
So the utility of FON relies on other people being less intelligent (or less selfish) than yourself.
Does that point to deep moral failings on my part?
