A Dispute Over Wireless Networks

By PETER MEYERS
The New York Times

Time Warner Cable sent some of its New York City cable-modem subscribers
letters last week warning that operating wireless networks and inviting
others to freely share them violated their subscription agreements.

The company's action highlights a potential conflict between a small number
of advocates of free, wireless networking and the broadband providers who
supply their Internet connections.

Fewer than a dozen letters were sent, according to the company, a unit of
AOL Time Warner. The letters cited a clause in the subscription agreement
prohibiting redistribution of the company's Internet connection service.
