Nokia: Wireless hitchhikers branded as thieves

"Phone maker Nokia has come down strongly against warchalking. It has condemned as theft the placing of chalk symbols on walls and pavements at places where people can use wireless net access. An advisory issued by the handset maker said anyone using bandwidth without the permission of the person paying for it was simply stealing.

ComputerBILD Nokia warned that if too many warchalkers log on together, the whole network inside a company could slow down. It also said that unscrupulous spammers could use a network as a proxy to despatch millions of unwanted e-mail messages with no danger of being traced." - Full story and discussion at BBC News

In an unrelated story, an German proverb says "A cobbler should stick to his last / Schuster, bleib bei deinen Leisten"
