A while back i did some surviving as i drove around, even in my little village i stumbled over 40 AP's just taking my standard route to the main road 50% open, a good 20% flagged as default settings. Ok i can't be 100% sure they are open or on default settings as i did not actively probe the networks, just passively detected the signals but there is a good chance they are open. Robin
