Wireless networking is becoming all the rage recently, it certainly makes thinks easier for people like me who administer networks, no more climbing through ceilings or falling through them:)Stick a couple of boxes a wall, fir a wireless card and your done right?

Personally the answer is no, I want my networks secure and dont want anybody stealing my bandwidth, ok so I don't personally pay for it, but it's my phone that rings if the network crawls.

I bought a new toy recently so when I'm wandering about the building I can still use MSN to communicate with the other staff (especially when I go for that fresh air break ;) )and I thought I would drive around around and see how many networks were open and what type.

To be honest I wasn't shocked at the number, but I was shocked at the type, hospitals, lawyers offices all wide open.

So to my Question, how many other people out there have secured their wireless network or does it not matter?
