The cartels are starting to figure out how the white collar criminals make their money. Look out.
Also, if your Viagras cartel signal has full bars for four hours, call your doctor.
It'll be somewhat strange when they get to the point where they're just legitimate businesses price-gouging their customers. It's happening with avocados as well as other monopolies in various places. It's only a matter of time before they're just on the stock market.
Legitimate business + explicit and credible death threats
So corporations?
duuuuude
dont give spectrum any ideas
Still better than Canadian prices
The CRTC can just fuck right off.
You mean the Canadian Radio Telecommunications Cartel?
Holy shit you're not kidding
I bet they have setup a proxy to capture all the traffic so they can capture all the logins and have access to their bank accounts.
That does not work without forcing the users to also use the proxy. Any website that uses https instead of http does not leak passwords, unless the device/browser of the user is compromised.
It sounds like a mechanism to make the town dependend on the cartel for internet, and then demand extortion prices for the internet.
They could easily do a man in the middle attack, but I doubt they would have the need to rob the poor people of their town.
Https is explicitly designed against man-in-the-middle attacks. Modern browsers make a bigggg fuss if a man-in-the-middle is attempting some shit. Those attacks do not work.
And if you do manage to make it work, it sure wouldn't be easier than pointing a gun at someone and telling them to pay up for their internet connection.
Not without a client side certificate
You can ... If people aren't tech savvy you can just serve everyone plain http and most people will ignore the warnings.
More likely they just wanted the subscription money.
Do they also threaten to kill anyone that chuckles when they say their name?
If so, I wouldn’t even make it to my first payment.
$20-30/month isn't bad depending on the speeds, just saying.
I skimmed the article and I don’t think it mentioned the performance
Why even offer the WiFi? They could just threaten to kill them if they don’t give them money each month.
The WiFi business has a much higher chance to go legitimate... I guess?
Plomo o WiFi.
Community WiFi. That's a way to increase adoption I guess.
