Comcast is rolling out a neighborhood WiFi initiative designed to allow its Xfinity Internet subscribers to log in to nearby wireless hotspots outside of their home. Subscribers to the service will essentially be the hosts for two separate WiFi networks. One will be their private and secure home connection. The other signal, which Comcast would provide for free, would serve as a neighborhood signal that could be shared by other users, such as guests of the home or other Xfinity users who happen to be looking for a WiFi connection nearby.
