Public doesn't mean free to everybody, it means available to everybody. A public house (as opposed to a private club), aka a pub, is not a place you can hang out whenever, they have hours (they are not "public" at night) and you're supposed to buy stuff when you're in there.
There's nothing about password protected wifi that makes it inherently non-public.
- Spivak 10y agoI think he means when certain Telcoms blanket entire cities with Wi-Fi in the unlicensed spectrum which at scale makes everyone else's connection worse. I have no problem with blanketing cities with internet access but I think commercial wireless should have their own frequency -- which would actually be good for them since they would be mostly alone in the space and could get a frequency which is better suited to large scale coverage.
- dogma1138 10y agoI live in London which has allot of telco wifi everywhere and I haven't seen any adverse impact on my signal. Wifi is saturated regardless of it being metro or not, relatively speaking the strongest signals by far will come from your neighbours not the telcos.
