#guest_networks — Public Fediverse posts

@PCOWandre @futzle I'll add to that.

What's the status (and liability) surrounding all those crowd sourced open #WiFi databases at commercial establishments?

There were several (and prolly still are) #Android apps that could not only locate on a map, but also connect to home, commercial, industrial, and governmental "socalled" guest networks while you were out and about in your travels.

Many of the apps included password store information so the secured networks don't them would autocorrect while you were in range

This is not withstanding the private, residential and business Internet accounts made automatically available to customers with active accounts through the same providers, by default on say, people's home Internet Wi-Fi routers (CPE -provided by the ISP) without fully discussing to them that upon installation, they announced a guest network publicly that shared their household bandwidth.

This is a deep discussion that should spark some interesting perspectives.
