Seems like just asking for some big-money content provider to send their 
lawyers after you.  Or another advertiser who is paying to be on that website.

 

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape

You don’t spit into the wind

You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger

And you don’t … inject ads into someone else’s web page

Sweet.  I just love it when ads are injected into web pages!

Ben,

 

We use HSNM, I know cnPilot has stuff built in, but we choose to support and 
sell HSNM for a number of reasons.  It has advertisement module that you can 
inject ads into pages and such, you can limit usage based off free or paid 
accounts, you can have them self-subscribe (i.e. pay online) as well as have a 
number of restaurants that offer free WIFI for doing a survey (most of these 
they love).   Lots of options here.  Of course, both UniFI and cnPilot has 
parts of these systems, just not everything. 

 

As far as turning off the system, why do that, on the weekends offer free 128 
or 256k restrictive access, restrict, youtube, Netflix etc.  restrict ports to 
just the basics, but then offer a paid option, and leave the system on, it 
should turn off the free access outside of the weekend hours. 😊

Subject: [AFMUG] Wifi in the Park

 

Hey all,

 

So here’s an open question for conversation starting.  What does everyone do 
for WIFI in a public area?  Specifically, I’m looking at best practice for 
access.  I’m going to start deploying cnPilot AP’s at some of our small 
community baseball fields.  Some of these communities have little to no cell 
service, and when you’re at the ball park and want to share a video of your 
child playing, or tell family where you are, or even in emergencies, you need 
connectivity.  So I’m looking at leveraging this need with opportunity for our 
company and providing free service, but use it for marketing, with the 
potential to upsell ‘Advanced Services’.  IE; could offer streaming cameras, 
higher capacity, etc. for a cost.  One local park is stating they will limit 
connectivity by just unplugging the equipment when they are not there, however 
I find this to be some what archaic in nature.  Thus, my long winded question, 
what’s the best practice for allowing limited access on this network, that 
prevents users from sitting and streaming movies in the parking lot, during 
weeknights, but allows attendees to utilize the service as preferred.  I’m not 
asking for the how, I’m well versed in the capabilities of the equipment, but 
more asking the which, what’s the group typically lean towards using over the 
other, vouchers vs. open, time limits, bandwidth limits, and so on?
