Purely personal, maybe slightly selfish viewpoint - but I'll probably be opting out of this.

We get excellent 3G & 4G coverage from our EE mobiles, and our data allowance barely gets touched as it is, so I can't see that adding random WiFi hotspots to the mix is going to improve our mobile data experience. I've experimented with using WiFi on the London Underground to "prove that WiFi calling works", but I get that included via my EE subscription anyway.

And yes, if there's the slightest risk of our modem's uncontrolled "public" network affecting our personal network - then I know which is going to lose out.

As many have said, the devil's in the detail.
