In the US at least you have to authenticate with your Comcast credentials and not like a traditional open wifi where you can just make up an email and accept the terms of service. I also understand that it is a different IP than the subscriber. Based on this the subscriber should be protected from anyone doing anything illegal and causing the SWAT team to pay a visit.
You are absolutely correct.
Now..they are doing this on your electric bill and taking up space (albeit a small amount of it) in your home.
The blog cited is at http://speedify.com/%20blog/comcast-public-hotspot-cost/. As you can see it uses two separate devices; it is not similar to our residential service.
