If an establishment is offering an open wireless network to the public, it's not theif to use their bandwidth. Even if you are not in their store enjoying their wonderful coffee's and teas, you can use their bandwidth. And as for asking, why bother them about it? Unless they post on their doors and AP that the bandwidth is for customers only, it's ok to use it. -lile hacker artist GeekMaids.Com - Creating Order out of Chaos...
