That legality is a little steep - and off-beat for a law that old. I
don't understand how this _law_ can hold water at all since I don't
believe there was wireless internet in 1979. [ Was there?]
In any case, there is free wireless to all who camp here and it is
installed by management. I also run wireless service from our
motorhome, which is located more toward the back so new arrivals don't
have to wait for a password from the managers. It's my own cable
service and I do believe that everyone who travels has a right to
access internet to contact family and friends. Also, the manager's
wireless sleeps at night. Mine doesn't. We have occasional travelers
in vehicles stop by to access the internet with their laptop perched
on the steering wheel. I know they're there - but, as I said, my
service is wide open for access and we do have security - however, I
don't allow them to download as it slows down the system.
