I think that things should continue as they are for the moment with normal ISP charges to the net. I don't think neighbourhood lans will be very popular at all with the regular 'joe bloggs' sort of person.

How do you think Cable internet works? :p

I know cable modems run off a neighbourhood node .. but you can't access any other persons pc on that node making this a very restictive sort of a LAN smile. My original point is still valid as many people will not find no need for file sharing across the cable network in this way and they certainly wouldn't want to arrange a shared cost with neighbours on their connection. You dont do it with any other services ... why should the net be any different.
