Someone Comes To Town

Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Cory Doctorow: Someone Comes To Town... ISBN:0765312786 - very bizarre combination of WiFi/Cell Phone debates with surreal fantasy that would make Jorge Luis Borges proud.

WiFi thinking seems related to his "[Liberation Spectrum]" story z2003-01-29- Liberation Spectrum.

This group slides from building their own Free Wifi hardware to just spreading the idea (MemetIc) of everyone keeping their own HotSpot-s open (and named as "[Parasite Net]") for passersby to share.

I think this is a great idea, and people who share their WiFi should name their [SSID] to start with [Parasite Net].
- eventually WiFi "sniffers" could recognize these and identify their presence more openly (since right now they often don't tell you whether HotSpot-s they smell are open or closed)
