This would be why commercial entities
often use their trademark identifiers
as part of the SSID.  You can compel
them (briefly) not to use the SSID, until
they sue you for trademark infringement
and serve cease-and-desist orders against
you for unlicensed and unauthorized use
of the Starbucks name.  Totally separate
realm of enforcement, and in many ways
far more effective.
