India Looks To Make Open WiFi Illegal
In most of the discussions we’ve had over the years concerning the legalities of open WiFi networks, the issue was whether or not it was legal to access an open WiFi network. Over in India, they’re taking a different approach, apparently preparing rules that would outlaw offering an open WiFi network (via Slashdot). This is in response to the recent bombings in India, where officials believe the bombers used open WiFi networks to email each other. That seems like a pretty big overreaction. If it’s not open WiFi, the terrorists will come up with other ways to communicate — and in the meantime you inconvenience everyone else, and make it impossible for those who want to offer open WiFi to do so.
