For as much fear as there is about identity theft and all the experts saying that people should secure their wifi networks - it amazes me how many unsecure networks there are. It's not that hard - my linksys had a wizard that helped me set up the security (not that I needed it). I just find it odd and a tad bit scary.
Really, it is a sign of how trustworthy Americans are. With the hundreds of thousands of open hotspots out there, almost none are ever hacked or used in a way that it is detrimental to the owner.
I even know a lot of people who pool their money to buy one connection and one wireless router to share between them and save a ton of money. Of course, the provider would be livid. But they should really be using it as a way to sell wireless bandwidth to those who are still on dial-up. What better way to be able to sell expensive downloadable content?
