Are you charged for somebody else using your wireless?
not unless the ISP charges by bytes transfered.
I personally leave my home wireless wide open on purpose... and keep my wired machines behind a firewall.
Wireless access points broadcast packets, often beyond property lines. If I am on the other side of that property line and those packets are in my space/public space... why shouldn't I be allowed to read them?
By the same token (regarding transmission), if the person with the access point is allowed to broadcast packets beyond their space, shouldn't I be allowed to do the same?
