   My ISP (BT, in the UK) has hotspots all over the place. These are simply   
   other people's routers, which have been pre-configured with a public   
   channel on a standard SSID.   
   They're pretty loud; I've used a few. You login with your usual BT ID.   
      
   It is possible to remove the public channels, but very few do that, not   
   knowing how.   
      
   My personal opinion is that I like it; very sociable. But I can see how   
   some asshole might find it good fun to monopolise his neighbour's wifi   
   with massive downloads.
