This story about wireless access in Boston’s Logan Airport will be an interesting one to follow. As the author mentions, the trial (if it goes that far) will be important because it could set a precedent for rulings on who controls the radio waves in a rented building.

It’s probably only a matter of time before there is some government type of interference (not the radio kind) pushing its way into our lives. How would apartment dwellers with wireless internet connections (and their neighbors who “borrow” the signal) react if apartment complexes were legally able to shut down all of their wireless connections? You’d probably have a riot on your hands.

Plus, if the wireless access points disappeared from apartment complexes, we’d need somewhere else to go wardriving. Not that I would be wardriving though…
