While I agree in principle, unless people are becoming unchained from their ISP-provided router/modems, I just don't see this gaining much traction. I really hope this succeeds (or something like it), I just feel that the current ISP environment is not conducive to such disruption, especially when 98% of users are running vendor-provided modems with the default configuration.
