Article on illegal access penalties

Nice article in the March 18 Times. Mentions an individual being prosecuted for unauthorized wireless access via, amoung other things, "theft of telecommunications services".

Also for any who don't think connecting to your neighbors wireless network has actually been determined to be illegal or not:

"Abdul G. Wattley, pleaded guilty to charges of theft and unauthorized use of a communications network and was sentenced to two years' probation."
