Re: Ummmm

Don't know about that. When I got my Verizon DSL connected at my home-dock, VZ sent me a "free" wireless linksys router. I have the wireless on, and open (default). Every once in a while, someone comes by and says thanks for the connection (I broadcast my Boat's name as the SSID), they pulled into the marina, discovered a "hot spot", and used it.

I am only using a piece of VZ supplied gear the way they sent it to me, how can they complain?

This whole "FON" thing is a bunch of crap, why should I pay FON to open up my router for others to use? Open 802.11 is almost everywhere, and should be encouraged, as a step towards community WiFi.
