    If you can own his router you may be able to capture traffic from it and
    tunnel it back to your machine.  I believe that this was discussed in
    Phrack about 2 or 3 issues back.

    You would want to be careful with this.  Even if your friend provides you
    with authorisation it would probably constitute wiretap and could land you
    in a heap of trouble with the local authorities (and the carrier).
