Google's motion to dismiss was ultimately denied, but the case settled for 13 million; it never went to trial and class members did not recover any damages under the Wiretap Act. As such, the only thing we can conclude is that in the 9th Circuit, WiFi is covered by the Wiretap Act. We cannot conclude from this decision that sniffing WiFi on its own has resulted in liability for damages. That issue was left unresolved.
