I haven't taken possession of my first Wi-Fi enabled laptop yet so pardon the stupid question but what I want to know is if I sign up for monthly unlimited Wifi at say Starbucks at a particular location, is the service only at that location? Say I drive down the street to my cousin Vinny's house a couple miles away, do I still have service? And if not, can I go to another say Starbucks near my cousin Vinny's and have service there? How does this stuff work?TIAdot

Starbucks doesn't actually have their own service, it's done by t-mobile.

Starbucks and WiFi?

Hahahaaha.. a **whole lot more** of a clue than idiots like you.. Since 1982 I have been running free PRIVATE bbs's, then websites, now hotspots.. Lets see, that's 22 years of actual experience doing it, dealing with the laws, and my sibling is a lawyer for the FCC.. Hmmmm.. wonder who knows more.. someone who has actually been doing it for decades, or some idiotic lunatic like you, that has no friggen clue, and spout off about laws he has no idea what they actually say/do, or if they even relate in any way to what is being discussed... Yep.. your comment about federal wiretap laws show what a frigging idiot you are.... And your comment about county you are posting from, doesn't mean squat, since there are NO county laws.

Civil. The reference was a small blurb in a news article discussing various "internet providing" technologies (Wifi, Wimax, BPL, ect) and their advantages/disadvantages. Privacy issues was one of the paragraphs in the article. IIRC, it was around early December of last year and was in the "Technology Section" of Yahoo.

And you're showing your childishness.

First off, check the country I'm posting from, sonny boy.

Secondly, check your US statute book again. Hey, why not even READ the article someone posted a link to. You might learn something. Hint: there's a federal wiretap law which covers it.

A splendidly impartial site to get advice from of course....

You have absolutely no clue do you.
