Use the iPhone to find free wireless while traveling
Tommy - Don't be a mindless droid, "in some states" means in states that have headquarters of CELL companies. They HATE WiFi, since it spells the eventual end of their businesses.
Use the iPhone to find free wireless while traveling
Using wi-fi that is intended to be free for public use is one thing and is what this hint is all about. But using wi-fi that is private is another thing, and is the problem when this hint talks about parking near a condo complex and using people's private unlocked wi-fi. I would be pretty annoyed if someone parked his car outside my house and use my wireless network, and I'm sure most people would be too.

My router has an encrypted password; but you'll be surprised to find how many networks are wide open. Within range of my house, there are 2 unprotected networks out of about 7. So you can still park in front of my house and use someone else's unprotected network - and still annoy me.

I don't think the best comparison is with stealing. I think it's more like walking into an unlocked house and making use of the amenities without actually taking something -- perhaps watching the TV a bit, or just keeping out of the rain. In some countries that would be a civil offence, not a criminal one, and that's how I think logging on to an open network without permission should be treated. But the legal situation in some countries appears to be that it is a form of hacking, a criminal offence. So be careful! |
