I don't know. I have two devices registered to the same Boingo account (a Windows Mobile and a Symbian device). Both work fine. Obviously, we don't registered both at once.

I'm not sure how they can tell, but I think it isn't that easy to share a connection in the fashion you are mentioning. Neither Windows Mobile Internet Sharing or the Nokia Data Suite have an out of the box solution.

On xda-developers, there are solutions out there to turn a Windows Mobile device into a virtual hotspot. They pull this off by hacking the dll file for the Internet sharing to insert wifi on the receiving end in place of bluetooth or USB. I would think that you could do this in the other direction.
