A secret tunnel that runs underneath the phone companies and emerges in paradise

It's a shame that this title wasn't more descriptive. Here is the gist, which may interest many more HN readers than the current 17 point rating (buried on page 3) suggests:

"Calyx is a famous, heroic, radical ISP that has been involved in groundbreaking litigation -- they were the first company to ever get a secret Patriot Act warrant unsealed, fighting for 11 years to overturn the gag order. ... For $500, Calyx will send you a little wifi hotspot with a Sprint SIM in it that comes with a year's worth unlimited, anonymous, unshaped, unfiltered 4G/LTE bandwidth on Sprint's network. Unlimited as in, I downloaded 60GB with mine and it didn't break a sweat. ... Subsequent years are $400 (because you don't get another wifi gadget, just the service)."

EDIT: Also some good info in Calyx's "Frequently Asked Questions about our 4G / LTE Membership Benefit": https://www.calyxinstitute.org/member/4G-LTE-FAQ

Sharing this further than BoingBoing may cause an early termination of the program if the influx of users is too high.

I had bought into a similar "unlimited" 4G/LTE hotspot program that used Verizon's network about a year ago [0], then news about it spread like wildfire and it only lasted less than two months after that. The wording in the Terms of Service of that program is very similar to this program.

I probably won't buy into this program, but for the sake of others, please don't let this go "viral".

Hopefully Calyx limits the number of people who can get this so only X number can join per month as to not attract scrutiny from Sprint.

Has anyone tried this? Sounds great. Fan of Calyx, would be happy to give them money if they have good reviews.

This should be higher on the list.

Only in the US though.
