Default Re: WIFI the Villages

In reality, how many people get arrested by the law for picking up on an unsecured signal?
Answer- none for practical purposes.

I read an online article recently about the first guy in Illinois (or somewhere) who was the very first person to be charged on tapping into a signal without permission. There's just no enforcement, kinda like our borders, so what does it matter?

It's a personal choice then. If you leave a signal unsecured, you're providing an opportunity for folks to grab it. You own it, you have the power, use it at your discretion.

I still think TV should offer free wifi or some entreprenuer set up an inexpensive system supported by ads or something.
