OK so given the outcome of this case does this mean that if that if a connection was War Chalked it is then OK to use it or does that require the provider of the connection to have chalked it and if so how do you know the provider made the chalk.
maybe we need another kind of mark to denote that the chalk was made by the provider... but then we would need a further mark to denote that that, previous, mark was made by the provider...
Or we could make the AP advertise that the advertisement of an open network is advertising an open network...
Or we could assume that people are capable of logical thought and therefore if they are advertising an open network, then you can use the open network.
Given the assumption that is it OK to use a AP if there is a notice advertising its presence. However, it is illegal to use it if there is only the SSID. To see a notice outside someone's house, informing you that there is a network you can use, requires nothing more than perceiving the light emitted (reflected) from the sign and this means it is OK to use the network. Yet receiving a notice outside someones house, a bit further down the electromagnetic spectrum, informing you of the open network doesn't make it legal.
Does anyone know exactly what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are legally binding?
On an entirely different point If it is legal to use a network if there is a Visible notice denoting its presence. If i write on the Side of my car my intention to use available networks does that make it legal?
