Uhh no one is to blame?
I blame the cops cause they made it a big deal.
From my house with a 24dBi grid and a 500mW amplifier I can pick up no less than 48 different Wifi networks.
Alas I have 10mbit cable thus no use for the 48, but it just goes to show...
This has been legal 'gray area' for uhh like 5 years now, so I would assume at this point any open network might as well be considered free for use.
As a favorite saying goes: I use the isp called 'linksys' - it has great national coverage! |

| RX amplifier? me want LOL
Right now I rely on a 7dB Omni antenna.... the card can TX up to 1W which allows me to hit the faint wifi spots.
But paid hardline cable service when I can get it is the win! Wifi is nice for travelling around, but if I am at a location for at least a few months I get my own subscription to a local ISP. |
