]There is current case law, Halpert said, in the state of Maine that ]holds Verizon liable for not meeting quality-of-service agreements with ]its customers after a computer worm disabled a data network and resulted ]in considerable down time for those users. Down time due to a third ]party's actions also could affect Wi-Fi or other wireless networks with ]similar carrier liability results, he said.
So say someone comes along and infects my WAP-11 with a Microsoft Outlook Worm/Virus I would have to refund my free of charge users because I did not meet a non-existant quality-of-service agreement? It would be nice to have legal attrocities like the DMCA so called "safe harbor" law removed from the books, but I think what they discussed sound more like the potential legal problems of a Wi-Fi based for-profit network provider. As in what does Starbucks owe a customer that can't transit across their network because someone is operating a leaky microwave owen nearby. -- Daniel -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
