The inTerneT has been in development since the 1950s. The

world wide web was announced in 1991. But it’s only in the last

decade or so that being online has become a universal feature

of everyday life. Among the many reasons for that, one of

the most signiﬁcant is the widespread availability of ad-hoc

connections. Wherever you pause for a cofee, a meeting or a

public event, chances are you can pick up wiﬁ.

Despite the proliferation of cellphone data networks, an

open wireless connection to a ﬁxed line is still the surest way

for most of us to get fast, uncompromised access to the net.

Because cell tarifs are tied to a subscriber, they can be sub-

jected to arbitrary controls. You may be penalised for using

large amounts of data, and networks block access to certain

content by default, for reasons ranging from child protection

to revenue protection. Ater the Leveson Inquiry phone hack-

ing revelations and the Coalition’s revival of plans to store

records of all electronic communications, you might also think

twice about what you use your mobile account for.

Open wiﬁ is user-agnostic. It doesn’t care who you are. If

the hotspot is limited to customers of a particular provider,

you may have to log in or allow yourself to be identiﬁed by a

device ID, which is annoying and bad for anonymity – but the

aim is to establish that you’re entitled to use the service, not to

track you. The best case is a simple open network operated by

the owner of a venue. You ask a member of staf for the pass-

word (if any), enter it and you’re online.

By default, all BT Broadband wiﬁ routers make available,

alongside the owner’s private network, a preset guest network

that passing users can log on to, using a limited portion of the

available bandwidth. It’s part of an international scheme, Fon,

that hitches the proliferation of public hotspots to the instal-

lation of ﬁxed broadband connections. As we all get online, we

get each other online too. What could be more progressive?

Like your local café, municipalities can beneﬁt commercially

as well as socially by providing wiﬁ as an amenity. Jerusalem is

reckoned to have become the ﬁrst wiﬁ-enabled city when its

‘Unwired’ project went live in 2002. Mysore, India, followed in

2004, and Sunnyvale, at the heart of Silicon Valley, in 2005.

Boris Johnson’s plan to unwire London by 2012 doesn’t seem to

have quite come of, but BT, O2, Nokia and others are building

wiﬁ infrastructure around the capital in time for the Olympics.

These projects follow in the footsteps of large-scale instal-

lations at sites such as university campuses. Carnegie Mellon

had a wireless network in the 1990s, before the term ‘wiﬁ’ was

coined; Drexel, in Philadelphia, was fully unwired in 2000. So

it’s not a new idea, but one whose time has evidently come.

Or so you’d think. Yet Ofcom has announced it’s moving

forward with plans, initiated by the discredited Digital Economy

Act passed by the outgoing Labour government, to force all

large ISPs to cooperate with copyright exploitation companies

such as BPI and MPA which monitor unlicensed ﬁle shar-

ing services. Customers whose connections are identiﬁed as

having been used to upload or download unlicensed content

will be contacted by their ISP with a warning leter. Three

leters will put you on a blacklist from which copyright owners

select users to be targeted with lawsuits for damages.

While ISPs themselves are treated as carriers, and exempt

from any copyright action, a customer who opens up their wiﬁ

router as a hotspot will be treated as a user, and held responsi-

ble for whatever content their guests happen to access.

You can appeal against each accu-

sation, at a cost of £20 (yes, you’re

guilty until proven innocent). But if your

defence is that someone else was using

your connection, you must show that

you took ‘reasonable steps to prevent’

their access.

In short, this outlaws open wiﬁ. And

that’s something nobody who values the

internet would ever propose.�
