Internet available to all through cable TV

[zaggy]

Our local cable company just announced it's plans to distribute the internet through already exsisting cable boxes. They say to enable customers without computers to surf the net. Here is the link explaining.

What will this do to already lax internet security? You will have limited ability to secure a cable box and your TV don't you think?

I mean it is great for those that can't afford computers but a definate concern if you ask me.

Opinions?

The cable company in my region already uses the same signal for both internet service and cable. I know of a few people that have taken advantage of this...there's a hack for everything!
