"900MHz radio frequency so the owner could connect from up to 2.5 miles away from the source of the Internet connection. As a result, even if someone tracked down the location of an IP address, the user wouldn't automatically be discovered."
triangulation seems to be a weakness if you can separate it out with other stuff transmitting in that range which I think is quite easy to do with the right hardware.
