My husband sent me this article today from the Washington Post about free or inexpensive WiFi add-ons. One of the programs being reviewed made me think of the UK Losties who have to wait to watch the show because they can't stream it online from ABC.com:

Here's another application that...sets up a virtual private network (VPN) for you when you're at a hotspot, or when you want to protect your wireless transmissions for any reason. Run the software, log in, and choose a server (currently your choice is only the United States or the United Kingdom), and everything you do will be hidden through 128-bit SSL encryption.
The software also promises to get around a problem that can occur when people are outside the United States and want to view certain American TV shows over the Internet: Since some sites block access to such shows to all but American IP addresses, as the creators claim, if you choose a U.S. WiFi Guardian server when you log in, the server will give you a U.S. IP address. As a result, you should be able to watch the show.
