I doubt you'd get a profit share. When the idea of all of those 'CableWiFi' networks started, it was because the cable operators wanted a separate network. It usually runs on a separate circuit so it won't interfere with the customer's bandwidth.

The point they were making was using this cablewifi, tv will be able to send data back without requiring your WiFi password.

I guess alternately you could grant it access to your wifi and block all its traffic.

How does one block the traffic?

Most routers allow some kind of traffic denial, even the home use ones. But I guess you could get a rpi and set it up as a firewall or something

I wouldn’t put it past the TV makers to aggressively evade firewalls, latch on to public WiFi or include a secret cellular modem that they bury in the finest of fine print.

One more reason the best neighbors are those that are out of site.
