Lab Notes

Following the arrest of a man in Florida for stealing Wi-Fi comes the conviction of a man in London for doing the same. He has been fined £500 and received a 12 month suspended sentence. London is a notoriously expensive city, but that's still a pretty significant amount of money for casual use of open Wi-Fi networks.

As in the Florida case, the man was arrested after complaints from neighborhood residents. And again like the Florida case, it appears the residents were more concerned about a prowler than about Wi-Fi theft.
