It sounds like it. For now.
Whats a suitable password? Just something very long and using caps, numbers, special characters etc?
Although what those guys are suggesting is that its just a matter of time before any WPA2 password can be brute forced, is that correct? |

this may further fracture alliances within the EU, as it should. I think if they pause and peer into their own financial messes, they may realize that they bigger fish to fry! |

| I can't see the ISP's being entirely diligent on this one as it would cost them customers in the end. I don't see this working. The government let alone the ISP's aren't competent enough to reliably enforce such a measure even if they wanted to do so, privacy issues aside.
Now I'm curious as to the feedback, if any, that will come from the EU. I'm not that familiar with how much influence the EU has though in regards to such an issue.
