These results are quite interesting. That's an awful lot of wireless coverage for any body of water, including the lakes on the map.
I could definitely see something like this cropping up in the Long Island Sound and becoming quite popular with Long Island boaters who want a relaxing day on the water. I know someone was looking at hotspots in the water around NYC, and I'm sure there are already plenty of those:D
But...knowing entrepreneurship in the United States, I simply can't envision a free Wi-Fi network with range good enough to cover a body of water. In general, it seems like phenomena like this one in the Netherlands are seen more often in Europe, so where does it leave us unpriveliged Americans?
In a sense, yes. If we all remember our RSA encryption methods, or in fact any encryption method, they are all breakable, it's just a matter of enough computing power to do it. With RSA all you have to do is factor the big prime number pq into p and q and then you know phi = (p-1)(q-1) and from there you can get the decryption exponent no problem.
Encryption was designed to be just unbreakable enough, not totally unbreakable. 576-bits is a small one compared to what is often used for critical data these days, and every RSA factorization prize will be taken. But trust me it will be a lang time before you see the next ones show up, since eachadditional bit makes the problem a much harder one.
It'll be like this at least until quantum computing makes it all obsolete:) Every so often you will see that another RSA
