The idea
- Run a public wifi access point at Varia

=== Legalities ===

"Easy" mode
- https://www.ictrecht.nl/kennis/factsheets/draadloos-internet-aanbieden
	- if you offer publicly accessible wifi point, you have major bureacracy (see gore mode below)
	- if you offer to specific public then there is no "general public" and then you escape bureaucracy
	  in this way you emulate what cafes/libraries do - password protected membership/location based access
	- if you do not screen/track with logins, registered accounts, logging then you are not liable for what
	  anything the user might do. the important distinction here is "active" vs. "passive" provider of the wifi
	  access

	  - https://alcadis.nl/oplossingen/wireless/wet-en-regelgeving-wi-fi/
	    - being seen as a "passive" provider is the only low-bureaucracy way forward
	    - you can block ports and some websites and you will still not be seen as an "active" provider
	    - "Bedrijven mogen zonder restricties internettoegang via Wi-Fi aanbieden aan een besloten groep 
	       klanten, bijvoorbeeld op een camping of in een restaurant. Wanneer een bedrijf een openbaar Wi-Fi
	       netwerk openstelt aan het publiek, bijvoorbeeld op markten of stranden, dan is een meldplicht bij
	       de Autoriteit Consument en Markt (ACM) van kracht." (again, gore mode)

"Gore" mode
- https://www.agentschaptelecom.nl/documenten/brochures/2018/1/17/openbare-aanbieders
	- If offering publicly accessible wifi then you come under the Telecommunications law
	- You have to register yourself as an access point, allow tapping, store traffic and some other regulations

=== Terms and Usage ===

Following ictrecht.nl link above it doesnt even seem legally required to do this
However it might be interesting to do this to make some progressive statement
