Wireless in Wisconsin
Folks don't realize the availability of free WiFi Internet access in their hometowns in this state. Through my exeriences, I have found it great to go out and hit any number of free, unprotected wireless networks that I can get onto when I cruise around town. While the legality of logging onto an unprotected wireless network is still quite in the air, my personal views on the subject the contrare. There are two reasons why you are providing free WiFi service.
1. You simply want people to have free access. This goes alot for businesses that have it for their customer's to use when they use their services and make their place of business more advantageous over others. The same goes with a consumer that is sharing out thier Internet connection with their neighbors. Mighty nice of these people, and you might as well take advantage of thier kindness too!!!
2. The person with the WAP (wireless access point) is simply too lazy or stupid to know how to secure thier wireless. Honestly, I say these people deserve it. It is like leaving the front door open to your home and not expecting someone to just walk in and take advantage of the comforts of your home. It might not happen often, but sooner or later someone is going to do it.
Now, while using thier WiFi service to access the Internet for whatever you are going to use it for I find is ok. What you should never do is harm to these points. This will begin giving those of you who do it a bad name and make the laws against this get pushed through all the more quickly. Be polite, after all, someone is paying for the free Internet you are getting use!
The rest of this blog is going to be largely devoted to identifying where there are free WiFi spots that are unprotected in Wisconsin. If you know of one, feel free to email me or post it here. Please send all emails to theoldmage@yahoo.com with your information. Be as specific as you can about the location where you were able to get the free wireless service and what the WiFi spots name was. If it is a business, give them credit.
