California Passes Wi-Fi Guidance Law

California's legislature has passed a law requiring Wi-Fi device manufacturers to include warnings about security. From the article: 'From 1 October 2007, manufacturers must place warning labels on all equipment capable of receiving Wi-Fi signals, according to the new state law. These can take the form of box stickers, special notification in setup software, notification during the router setup, or through automatic securing of the connection. One warning sticker must be positioned so that it must be removed by a consumer before the product can be used.

How about a law where you can use an unsecured wifi signal? I hope they pass that kind of law too.

good read.

True, but stealing peoples connections comes in handy for everyone once in a while
