Freeloaders Welcome: Sharing the Wireless
Wireless freeloading has memed its way around the Net this week after a NY Times article detailing the practice. In general, they do a poor job of explaining the problems or concerns. Eric at Educated Guesswork does a much better job. Times story is here.
My network is open and I don't have a problem with freeloaders, especially after reading Eric's piece. I also doubt I have many freeloaders. I don't think the signal can penetrate any of the neighbors' homes and I don't seem to have people camping outside with open laptops. (Kind of cold here for that sort of thing.)
