Abstract
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing wireless communications, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing consumer WiFi sharing. In various embodiments, a computing system might receive, from a user device of an end user, a request to access at least one wireless access point that is available for wireless communication sharing; might determine a location of the user device and a location of each wireless access point ('WAP') among a compiled list of WAPs; might identify at least one WAP among the WAPs that are within wireless communication range of the user device, based at least in part on the determined location of the user device and the location of each of the WAPs, and that are available for sharing, based on the compiled list of WAPs; and might provide the user device with access to the identified at least one WAP.
