Sigh....

How would the Telcos prove that the wireless signal they have found is being used by

a) their customer
b) carries internet access on it and
c) being used illegally

I have wireless in my house, its has nothing to do with my ISP what I do with my wireless signals, or what my wireless signals carry.
Suggesting that ISPs/Telcos have the right to sniff and crack communications is utterly mad.
