    I beleive that a wireless connection to a network should be treated exactly the same way as an internet connection.

    Therefore if you are a business and want to give your users access to the entire internal network they should be going through a VPN, the same way an external employee sitting at home would.

    At the end of the day the connections are the same, you don't know who might be connecting, and you can't trust anything you send/recieve on the network.
