Wasn't there a regulator for this industry?

What was it now - OFFLINE, OFFTRACK, OFFAL?

Has anyone noticed the similarity between s32-33 of the Communications Act and a prohibition on providing "electronic communications networks without advance notification to OFCOM"

I think we should be told how many unsecured WiFi owners have been prosecuted since the Act came into force. At a guess I would suggest a figure not unadjacent to zero might be the answer. Of course if they read the Reg they may now go after all those who have owned up to doing this on purpose as a bit of a public service on the grounds that their mates in the TELCOS have thereby been deprived of a microgram or two of blood.

Could it be that proper enforcement of s33 of the Comminications Act 2003 would be inconvenient to the TELCOS frenzied flogging poorly secured WiFi broadband to the unsuspecting masses?
