BW )(: Fwd: [changeupict] FW: Wireless computing - News from the ICT Hub

Fri Oct 12 19:54:28 BST 2007

From one article:
...
Remember you’re breaking the law if you use someone else’s wireless 
connection. You cannot just open your laptop and log on via any convenient 
passing signal without breaching the 1990 Computer Misuse Act and the 2003 
Communications Act.

Just a reminder to folk here. :)
