Once again the laws miss the mark since what is needed to be protected is
consumers/customer data and information. We need laws to start protecting
OUR data from careless corporate security practices and enable monetary
damage rewards for those harmed. Only then will businesses start thinking
more about what is the right thing to do instead of just doing what ´everyone
else is doing´.
Forcing EVERYONE to close their wireless network sounds more like the laws
were promoted by the cable and ISDN networks or just plain ignorance at
the law making level.
