In Soviet Russia...
WiFi Registers You.
As for the news on this, it is not entirely correct. It
appears to be a poor translation of the original Russian, but:
1. End users are not required to register their wi-fi enabled
devices.
2. Short range Wi-Fi hotspots must be registered if you allow
access to a third party (10 days, 1000 rubles)
3. Documents and technological certification are required if
you are an ISP selling Wi-Fi access for a profit, or if you
use a band outside A, B or G.
At least this is what I get from a Slashdot post on this:

 I hope that the Russians have better luck enforcing these registration requirements, than the FCC had forcing Citizen Band Radio Owners to obtain a license back in the 1970s. Maybe failure to register will entitle a violator to a one way ticket to Siberia. I hope that this law does not give our government ideas. |

Re: Obligatory Russian Reversal
So, if you set your home hot spot up with the WEP encryption enabled, or with a password (IE no public access) you wouldn't have to register it?
At least that's how I interpret bullet point 2.

The fees for having wifi certifcation classes and REQUIRING the assistance of trained individuals to set up any wifi capable device....

Re: Wish Them Luck
*Snicker* As a CB'er who still has the equipment that he was using back in the 70's, I remember this well. My home base station Cobra 32XLR still has the sticker on it with my license number. I also remember having to sign on the air with that number as well as sign off with it.
My Dad is/was a big stickler for following those rules.
I wonder if anyone still uses CB radios like they used to.
Id think id get in trouble if I went and put up my old base station antenna though... I think my HOA would say something if I put a mount on the roof of my condo building, and erected my 200 foot base antenna on the roof. I could receive from over 50 miles away if the weather was right, and could transmit almost 20 miles any time.
*Sigh* those were the days.

1 edit | Russian form mail spam/hackers
I get a lot of spam from Russia filling up my website mail forms with all the latest links to Russian pussy and other. I really do not know what good it is doing since the links are not getting sent anywhere.
Even though the spam is a stupid waste of time. It appears that they were able to compromise a few US proxies to cover up their tracks.
Maybe they finally pissed off the wrong person/ISP. |

Here in CA, you have to register a dog or cat with the city and pay a fee. You also have to register the bicycle you just bought for little Tyler and also pay a fee. |

Re: What's even more silly?
I live in California and I've never seen a officer pull over anyone for a unregistered bicycle, the pet thing is to pay for any animal damages if so caused by and to keep track of animals and make sure they are not abused..even though I don't see it doing much. |

I wonder when they will introduce WiFi registration in CA too? It has gotten out of hand with all those Sierra Club nuts, and tree huggers and "environmental" laws, and stupid taxes, etc, etc.... |
