Looking at their router, just from first glance, it doesn't look like it 
would have a very good range. So unless you mod it, or make it mobile, 
your revenue stream is going to be £10 a year from an odd lone guinea 
pig who never uses it again or simply joins up, thereby moving any 
monies directly to source company via likely purchase of said equipment, 
at a guess.

Adding to this the fact that it is illegal to boost your receive / 
transmit levels beyond a pitiful amount without a license, which no 
doubt is not less than your likely income, it becomes a 'we make money 
from your goodwill' company. Of which there are increasing amounts, many 
disguised as charities or not for profit ors.

With a quick calculation from their own figures, one can see that the 
gross turnover since 2006 has maybe been about £21,000,000 from sales of 
this 'super' router, presuming all members bought one.

To be a little fairer, there are at least 10 members around Aberdeen, 
which surprised me. I guess there's still some suckers here :)
