FCC rules in favor of community wifi

The FCC has ruled that landlords can't keep tenants from using the wireless devices and services they want. Harold Feld and Susan Crawford have excellent posts explaining it. (I'm sure others do, too, but I'm in a hotel restaurant leeching wifi...) [Tags: wifi fcc harold_feld susan_crawford -berkman]

Much broader than community Wi-Fi -- it's all unlicensed uses. It reaffirms in very specific terms the notion that tenants and leaseholders of property can't be "regulated" by landlords and owners in terms of spectrum and antenna usage. The regulations were originally put in place to force landlords to allow satellite TV antennas.

Question about a post a long time ago. I'm kind of in the same position as you in regards to the money order and bad ebayer issue. Is there any way the bank (Bank of America) and stop the money from leaving my account?
