[Discussion] Wireless Security

[John Sandercock]

If you don't use encryption, you may be providing some of your neighbors
with free Internet access.
Whether that is a good or a bad thing depends on whether you incur
additional costs, whether your own access is affected, whether you have
adequate security to protect the nodes on your network, and whether you
think that improving your community's access is a good thing.
In Manhattan, where I live, the community seems to have voted for
encryption.
