Difference
What's the difference between a Wi-Fi hotspot setup to allow shared us by all and sundry, and a private network setup by someone ignorant of security etc? The answer is nothing. All will be transmitting a SSID, with no encryption. Either, the law needs to be changed to say unprotected Wi-Fi is available to all, or hardware manufacturers need to be forced to add something that defines free Wi-Fi hotspot. Perhaps a flag or something.
Until then, this laws an arse.
