Agreed, think people are over reacting here and missing the point. As a subscriber to Wi-Fi you can go where you want and get Wi-Fi access including those Wi-Fi locations VM provide.

I really don't see people "camping" outside my house to use relatively "slow" Wi-Fi or even my neighbours who through several walls would get a poor performance by comparison to my 100MB (soon to be) service.

Think what you may get, not what the occasional passing user may get from your VM SH.

And if you do get multiple users using your SH, just turn it off for 5 minutes! That will get rid of them!!
