The hotel is being fined for blocking/jamming users setting up wifi via mobile technologies and such, not using the hotel's network. Hard for me to imagine how the hotel gets to insert itself into any applicable AUP in that scenario. Owen

Blocking access to somebody's personal hot spot most likely qualifies.My guess would be that the hotel or other organizations using the blocking tech would probably just say the users/admin of the rogue APs are not authorized users as setting up said AP would probably be in contravention of the AUP of the hotel/org network./Mike-- HugoOn 10/3/14 5:15 PM, "Mike Hale" <eyeronic.design () gmail com> wrote: So does that mean the anti-rogue AP technologies by the various vendors are illegal if used in the US?On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 4:54 PM, Jay Ashworth <jra () baylink com> wrote: ----- Original Message -----From: "Ricky Beam" <jfbeam () gmail com>It doesn't.
