Unsecured WiFi in NYC to be outlawed?
From ZdNet:
“According to a new proposal being considered by a suburb of New York City, any business or home office with an open wireless connection but no separate server to fend off Internet attacks would be violating the law.”
HAH! Very interesting concept indeed. Too bad it sounds like just anothe bandaid solution to a severed limb.
I’d really like to see them try and enforce this: “We’ve gotten a few calls sir, apparently you’re operating an unsecure 802.11G transmission from within this vacinity with the SSID of “r3belh4×0r”. You’re going to have to come with us…”
But as the golden rule states: “When in fear, pass a law to ban it”.
