I have been working in an office for a couple of weeks, that is not my own, that is located over an internet cafe
I have been using the office wireless broadband connection
But more out of habit and curiosity I scanned for wireless networks
The one for the internet cafe was available and there was no password protection
I was able to connect but quickly disconnected for fear of being attached to a unsecured network, virus issues, etc
I assume this must be extremely poor practice for such a business
But is it prevalent?
I have been able to connect to broadband (through other peoples connections) in a lot more places than I would have expected
I am not advocating doing it and from my point of view I wouldn't bother as I need a consistent connection but I'd imagine there may not be a necessity for someone to pay for broadband access in some locations
What are AAM users thoughts?
