Open networks are fine and are allowed. However, "Internet Access" through
open networks MUST be regulated.
For example:
1. Telephone number of each user must be recorded
2. All URL logs must be retained for 180 days
Usually this is done by "Multi factor authentication"
E.g. in most Airport lounges in Mumbai and Delhi, WiFI is open, when user
connects:
1. User gets a local IP for device
2. ALL traffic is routed to a transparent proxy (anything other than
http/https is disallowed)
3. Transparent proxy would present user with challenge, user has to enter
cell phone number
4. Temp password is sent as SMS to user
5. User enters temp password and if it matches, transparent proxy allows
http for that user from that point.
