[ILUG] There's one for everyone in the audience - and even for those who weren't

hmmm .. I suppose it depends on how you determine an 'ISP'. I understand 
if you are re-branding and re-selling ISP services for example you do 
not need authorisation and could be classed as an ISP. Which is similar 
to a user sharing broadband, except without financial gain.

I understand if you are providing the network infrastructure you do need 
authorisation.
