You're misunderstanding the situation. They don't need protection or
"security" of the kind you're selling.

They are in complete control of *their* equipment. They *decided* exactly
how much "security" to put into their networks. They aren't *trying* to keep
people out. They're *advertising* where they are and that they are providing
network access for all!

They're forming the foundations of a new Internet, aka "The Mesh".

You need to think more like a Californian, dewd.
