Going for spotty wireless access in my dorm room, I click on my airport icon and there's usually 2 or 3 computer-to-computer networks named "free wi-fi" or "free high speed." Yay for making making it easy to tell that's bogus. I turned off my sharing and put up all my firewalls once, and got on just long enough to find out they're not even smart enough to give the promised internet access to keep you busy. It's just a flat-out, try and screw you scam.
