    Not many people run open networks these days. I would be more worried about the things creating a mesh network to download ads from anyone who gave their TV internet access.

      The local cable monopoly supplies modem/router/AP combos that broadcast unsecured WiFi hot spots. For “convenience” of its customers.

      Pre-submission edit: there may be an authentication page upon connecting to verify that you’re a legit customer. I’ve never tried it personally and have no intention on doing so.
