FCC Prohibits Blocking of Personal Wi-Fi Hotspots

alphadogg writes: The FCC on Tuesday warned that it will no longer tolerate hotels, convention centers or others intentionally interfering with personal Wi-Fi hotspots. This issue grabbed headlines last fall when Marriott International was fined $600,000 for blocking customer Wi-Fi hotspots, presumably to encourage the guests to pay for pricey Internet access from the hotel.

If they won't let me unplug my employees private hotspots on my network, I will be mad.My network needs to be protected from the bad guys hacking in through my employees unsecured wifi hotspots.

Naughty FCC

I will need to haul them FCC commisioners over my knees and spank them in front of my hacked servers that are now spewing illegal spam advertising illegal knockoffs of my trademarked lighted clear plastic raincoats :((((((((((((((((

Luv you all
