height="105" width="110">This weekend at the
"Hackers on Planet Earth" conference, the
Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) plans to
demonstrate new open source firmware for wireless
routers. While open source wireless firmware is
nothing new, in this case, the firmware is
designed specifically to support the Open Wireless
Movement. This movement is promoting the
widespread sharing of unencrypted wireless
networks with no password protection, so anyone
can easily access and use them. Libraries are big
on sharing, of course, and also big providers of
public wireless, but will they embrace Open
Wireless?

Open Wireless Movement?</a> (openwireless.org)
"We are aiming to build technologies that would
make it easy for Internet subscribers to portion
off their wireless networks for guests and the
public while maintaining security, protecting
privacy, and preserving quality of access. We're
also teaching the world about the many benefits
of open wireless in order to help society move
away from closed networks and to a world in
which openness is the default. Our efforts
follow the opinion of nationally recognized
computer security expert Bruce Schneier, who
considers maintaining an open wireless node a
matter of <a

politeness'</a>."</li>

open-source router firmware opens your Wi-Fi
network to strangers</a> (Ars Technica | Joe
Silver) "[OpenWireless.org's] mission statement
reads. 'And we are working to debunk myths (and
confront truths) about open wireless while
creating technologies and legal precedent to
ensure it is safe, private, and legal to open
your network.' One such technology, which EFF
plans to unveil at the Hackers on Planet Earth
(HOPE X) <a href="http://www.hope.net/">conference</a>
next month, is open-sourced router firmware
called Open Wireless Router."</li>

tool boosts your privacy by opening your Wi-Fi

goal of OpenWireless.org, says EFF staff
attorney Nate Cardozo, is dispelling the legal
notion that anything that happens on a network
must have been done by the network's owner.
'Your IP address is not your identity, and your
identity is not your IP address,' Cardozo says.
'Open wireless makes mass surveillance and
correlation of person with IP more difficult,
and that's good for everyone.'"</li>

wants you to open your Wi-Fi to IMPROVE
privacy</a> (The Register | Darren Pauli) "The
EFF sees the proliferation of segmented open
wireless networks as a key tactic that will foil
intelligence agencies' ability to track
individuals. By opening home and business
wireless to all, it became more difficult to tie
people to their online activity.[...] Provided
the software is sufficiently secure, the obvious
outstanding threat would be to the open wireless
users who could find themselves blamed for
online crimes committed by anonymous users of
their network."</li>
