The good thing about open discussions is that they clarify hypotheses as much as technical issues. John Gilmore's "nervous Nellie" comments clarified that 
Open Wireless is as much a political statement as a technical problem. And the statement is not, "lets make tracking easier for the secret police."

We should assume that open wireless is just that. People connect freely, and send whatever they want. People set the open network because they believe in freedom. The technical issues are clear: ease of deployment, isolation of guest from local resource, and bandwidth management. Let's stay there.
