I think good ethics is simply linked to Karma conscious self-interest! Besides, the more money the coffeeshop owner earns from a Skyrove hotspot, the more likely he is to tell his friends about it! Although we do install and manage some hotspots ourselves, the real idea is for ordinary people to start their own hotspots and share internet with neighbours. The guy who owns the hotspot gets some money back, while his neighbours don't have to pay Telkom line-rentals! I.e. the net effect is cheaper internet for everyone, while also creating more micro-entrepreneurs! Hey Callum, thanks for the kind words about Skyrove!

I had planned to write a little bit about the meet but seems you're way ahead of all of us. Looking forward to chatting some more and getting involved in this wordpress thing you got going now, much needed here in Cape Town and South Africa. Hey Callum, was great meeting up with you.
