Due to title and text of this article, I see all kinds of people assuming this is required by dutch law, but it is not.
There exists no law or other statute that requires Hotels with Wi-Fi to register as ISP. Its just OPTA suing 10 hotels for being an ISP .. they are testing a vague law.
Please see my post here which explains better.
As for why the OPTA sues 10 hotels: the law is vague and the OPTA decided to trial this so it (the law) gets less vague.

Sony effectively castrated the PS3 of all customers by removing the OtherOS feature. The patch also tightens a video related security breach and is said to enable better quality video downloaded from PSN. Currently PSN (Play Station Network, its online service) seems broken, possibly as a result of this patch. Users are fustrated about a selling-point feature being removed, and i wonder how Sony will respond, if at all. Users who refuse to install cannot play online. Geohot (known for paving the way for the iPhone jailbreak) has stated on his blog that he seeks a way to keep the OtherOS feature. Many expected this to be a april fools joke because Sony's earlyer statement of it not removing the feature from 'fat' PS3's already sold. Seems they dont care as much anymore.

I'm looking for a easy to set up traffic shaping solution, for a small LAN.
After spending over a year toying with software, reading more about Linux than i'd ever thought, i'm no further.
Is there "Traffic Shaping Made Easy" software out there?
Sharing my 1/10Mbps internet uplink with 4 people isn't the best of joys. Especially if someone pushes the upload to its limits. The rest of the network users will experience timeouts due to the ISP enforced ADSL QoS/Limit. How to avoid this?
I would like to know how you guys solved this problem, as i'm sure i'm not the first.
How to spread the available uplink bandwidth evenly?
Five people using a 1000Kbps (100KB/s) uplink breaks down on each being guarentied to 1/5th of it.
This is a start, but what if 3 users aren't uploading at all? It would be a waste to not utilize it.
So in short:
- Each user has several fixed IP's.
- Each user has a guarentied 20KB/s uplink.
- Bandwidth not utilized by other users may be put to good use.
The trick is in the above line.
How to dynamicly allocate this not utilized bandwidth to the active users?
I've stranded there, as i'm not that experienced at linux.
Maybe you guys have some insights, what is the best solution?
