But I hope it can be enabled so you get the benefit of sharing when out.

Given the lousy firmware on SHUB1 in routing mode, I find it difficult to believe its going to be touched - wouldn't it be easier to give everyone a Fonera type device?
Using a Fonera-type device, such as mine, piggy-backed on the main router, would make it difficult to run the additional connection in the background wouldn't it? I put this as a question because I am not sure.
