I think on a 20 minute drive I picked up around 360 wifi hot spots on the way home - about half protected, the rest either university, homes, businesses and gratis ones (installed to be free for everyone).

I can sit in the bar waiting for my food and connect to their free wifi - or I can accidentally click on the business/home next door with open wifi, or indeed my laptop can connect by itself to either when I turn it on. One is legal, the other is 'Illegal'? Ludicrous beyond words.
officially your only allowed to use recognised and registered wifi spots that are registered as free wifi hot stops or pay for wifi hot spots,thats like saying the door was open so i walked in and took a look around,but I'm not poo pooing the idea, your own daft fault if u ask me,no encryption key,don't complain about it being high jacked,
