Re: Any Fines?

So you're saying that federalism may save the day for unsecured hotspots?

Possibly. But, I have a feeling that local laws could be constructed to somewhat skirt around federal FCC laws. Of course, if it becomes a huge issue that starts bothering the government for some reason, they could always throw in a commerce clause argument and take it all back. That being said, I'm not sure other than for making sure the FCC is the only entity regulating the airwaves, what interest the government would have.
