It isn't the subject, but when it comes about Internet access in public places in Italy, it's easy to get anonymous connections. I went to one Mc Donald's and when I asked the girl who served me about Internet, she had a small paper card on hand to tell me what number and what pass I could use to log in.
A phone number is also required in Switzerland to get a SMS, but I asked the girl sitting next to me if I could use her number and she agreed with a smile.
The most funny thing here is that Wi-Fi doesn't require any authentication, and it's not planned to implement any kind of authentication for Wi-Fi, even through SMS. This law can't be applied to Wi-Fi access points, because the concept of "public access points" is already defined in the law... And it has nothing to do with Wi-Fi access points, it's only about
publicly available computers provided by the state-owned organizations.
So the entire set of news on this subject in the western media is just a big pile of bullshit, which has no connection to reality. Actually it's funny to see how many people have spent so much time to discuss something non-existent.
