The story is here .

Basically, 66% of businesses secure their Wi-Fi, which is up from 37% last year. Sounds like free surfing if you've a laptop in central London

Sounds good... I'm borrowing a iBook with airport tomorrow.

I'm glad to see more people using WEP and the like to secure their home systems, as well. One year ago, I could find open systems all around my apartment building. All are now protected. It's nice to see security becoming a conscious effort for more users.

Personally, I can't imagine running an open system.

Soho Sq used to have a couple, infact a lot of Soho was wired and fired up... less now.

I'm wondering what you could find around The City though.... heheh

It's not so hard to break WEP encryption, actually -- people should really use IPSEC or something like that, to be really secure.
