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:

| 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.

Nice job, that makes it a lot better. The fee for sharing your WiFi is still pretty high, especially for Russians, almost $40. |
