Been a while since I last surfed the forum but couldn't resist asking this question.......

Just noticed something written on the back of the P1i box....

"In France, you are only allowed to use WLAN indoors".

So lets just say you have a wonderful WIFI equipped home in France and decide to "live on the edge" and take your P1i out to the garden along with a freshly poured Martini and enjoy broadband network speeds in the palm of your hand whilst getting a bit drunk, do the "DEPARTMENT OF MISUSE OF WIFI" arrive in abseiling from their helicopters, arrest you and hang you for your contempt of the law?

Must we be vigilant and keep an eye out for Rocket Propelled Grenades whilst checking email on you private row boat on the River Seine?

Just a thought.....

I think it's a great rule - stops all these blighters stealing wifi from joe public who has no idea about encryption.

Still it has a major loophole - the TENT!!! Maybe they'll outlaw those as well?!
