Re: libraries @Charles 9

I'm not one of the ones downvoting you, but you seem to have quite a different view on wi-fi access than most of us have experience.

I assume it's different over there in the USA...

From a UK perspective:

Paraphrasing:

-- "Open wifi spots being noticed and becoming hammered"

Open-wifi without restrictions are everywhere. Even the local hospital where you can happily access if from the large unmonitored car parks.

- "IT staff will notice"

Maybe in big libraries. Most of the places with free wifi don't have anyone looking after it.

- "Limits / Mobile costs"

No limits or caps, even on most non-residential services.

Mobile internet? £15 for unlimited 30 days, no contract required.

Add the hassle to the cost of petrol here, and it's just not worth exploiting
