Re: How, then? said by AquaSport:So, I just pull out my laptop and sitting there in my taskbar is an unlocked network named "Meraki?" that seems almost too easy. I"m missing something, right? Actually, for years now... lighting up a laptop just about anywhere in S.F. would get you a signal.
Mostly the Cafes, but some other establishments as well.
So, now with this Meraki stuff everywhere, S.F. is lit! 
I had fun one time when I was invited over to TechTV to help out in a "New Forum Layout" that was being planned.
You bet I took my laptop with me.
I stopped for coffee - yep! Wi-Fi.
Walked the City for a few before my appointment, I counted 5(five) unique APs on several blocks - ALL LEGALLY OFFERED!
We will not discuss the open APs I also seen... 
So, now we have Meraki pounding the streets as well? Oh HELL YES!
Even CNET offers free WiFi!

Scroll down to San Francisco. 
Just a couple.

kudos:4 | I suspect as pay per byte becomes more common, these open AP's will dry up. theres a big apartment complex across from my house that once had 6 open routers, thats down to two now.
