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: »yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/04/21/0211243.shtml -- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they are very sophisticated idiots." - Doctor Who (from Robot)

 |  SlickEnWPremium join:2003-01-21 Seattle, WA | Re: Wish Them Luck said by Mr Matt::) I hope that the Russians have better luck enforcing these registration requirements, than the FCC had forcing Citizen Band Radio Owners to obtain a license back in the 1970s. Maybe failure to register will entitle a violator to a one way ticket to Siberia. I hope that this law does not give our government ideas. And why not? The fees for having wifi certifcation classes and REQUIRING the assistance of trained individuals to set up any wifi capable device.... we would be RICH HAHAHAHAHA Capitalism FTW !! | |

 |  | | *Snicker* As a CB'er who still has the equipment that he was using back in the 70's, I remember this well. My home base station Cobra 32XLR still has the sticker on it with my license number. I also remember having to sign on the air with that number as well as sign off with it.
My Dad is/was a big stickler for following those rules.
I wonder if anyone still uses CB radios like they used to.
Id think id get in trouble if I went and put up my old base station antenna though... I think my HOA would say something if I put a mount on the roof of my condo building, and erected my 200 foot base antenna on the roof. I could receive from over 50 miles away if the weather was right, and could transmit almost 20 miles any time.
*Sigh* those were the days. -- I've discovered that I often visit the state of confusion, and I know my way around pretty well. | |

Even though the spam is a stupid waste of time. It appears that they were able to compromise a few US proxies to cover up their tracks.

 | | Russia and Registration Internet? That's kids stuff. Russia is here baby! The organized grime groups that control Russia's oil, natural gas, and mining (Gazprom & others)are puppeting Putin and buying up the good ole' USA, ala Japan of the 80's. The Ruskies now own the "Stillwater Mine" 'the only mine producing palladium and titanium in the US', and are in the E Coast & Calif. buying up real estate with oil engorged accounts. In case you are uninformed, these are mafia types that kill and dismember so you're never found.
Who do you think's keeping Putin alive? Ex KGB, and still there. He's OC. | |

That's how prevalent Wi-Fi is in Russia. I get IM from smaller cities.

With NATO on her doorsteps, and missile defense at her borders, the Russian Bear is angry (and understandably so), and she is strong once again, they are awash in money and are rebuilding their nuclear and conventional military.
To be honest, the Cold War never really ended, it just thawed a bit, but it's in the deep freeze once again. | |

If you really think about it, it's not too different than BBC in UK charging for TV. Russians are pretty good with tech stuff. They would make insane antennas to get German TV years ago.
