WIFI on 3g iPhone
I have just discovered a WIFI connection in my area, I don't know where it's coming from or who's it is, but is it ok to be using it? The connection is actually called T-LINK

Firstly, no, you can't use it unless you have permission of the person who owns the network. I think it is borderline illegal, maybe someone else can confirm.
Secondly, it may have a password encryption so without that you might not even be able to get on if you tried. |

People like to use the front door analogy. If you new that a random person's front door was unlocked would you walk straight in and using their house? No, you wouldn't. If someone has a wifi network, just because it has no security, doesn't make it OK to start using it. It's stupid that the owners have left it like that but it doesn't make it any less illegal.
