Re: public or not public You hit the nail on the head. The question for every hotspot is "is it meant to be publicly used or not?".
If it's password protected then obviously not.
If it's open then the answer is unclear.
It shouldn't be illegal to have an open AP if you intend it to be that way (such as a library). What we really need is a clear way to tell if an open AP is meant to be that way (default setting would be closed, the user has to expressly configure the AP to be public whether that is turning off default encryption or having an additional flag of public/private). |
