Comment

Could someone please assist Mr Ilett in performing his job, and fill in the rest of the story. In common with a number of people, I use wireless connectivity in a large number of locations, and have the connect to any options set on my devices. Indeed, I have taken advantage of public spirited citizens sharing of connections in London, Manchester and New York. Does this mean I should go straight to court, or is there actually a little more to this story than some poor unfortunate standing too close to an intolerant incompetent while his laptop did the evil of trying to seek a connection?

[Ed note: Good point about free wireless access, Marcus. But we think the important part of Dan's story is the word "dishonestly". These weren't connections meant for just anyone to use.]
