Clueless commentary from the Red Herring, predicting the death of public 802.11 networks because “no one owns them” and “when your connection goes down, who are you gonna call to fix it?” Jesus! Has this guy ever tried to get support from an ISP? I don’t care if you’re a corporation with a T3 or a user with home DSL — when your network connection goes down, you’re screwed until they fix it. Presumably the person operating the open 802.11 connection is also relying on it, and s/he’ll take whatever (inffectual) steps are available to alert the ISP of the problem. Link Discuss
