Default Re: Frugal Ethics 101

This whole situation could be eliminated if customers were required to secure their networks. At home, I can detect 5 or 6 wireless networks coming from my neighbors homes, but almost all of them are secured, so I couldn't steal their signal if I wanted to. Same at work. I just checked and right now I'm detecting 2 other networks. Both are secured.

If the ISPs are concerned about this, they should just require home networks to be secured.
