Did you catch the story on NPR?
It’s in your airports, your coffee shops and your libraries: “Free Public WiFi.”
Despite its enticing name, the network, available in thousands of locations across the United States, does not actually provide access to the Internet. But like a virus, it has spread — and may even be lurking on your computer right now.
While not necessarily an immediate danger, it’s another message about being current with your operating system and applications for security purposes. The other consideration is providing for your users wifi needs when traveling. One option is the proliferation of choices available to cable subscribers as described in this article – Comcast Cuts The Wire. Locally AT&T offers this type of package for U-Verse or DSL/Wireless customers. This type of proactive effort will help limit the type of behavior leading to the scenario described in the NPR report.
