I've only gone over the 2gig limit twice...maybe because I'm on wifi every chance I get.

If we had public wifi at work, i'd be way under.

You can't use your corporate wifi? Ouch...

want to hear ouch ... we have an open, unsecured, public wifi at work ... it's a honey pot trap and doesn't actually have access to anything.

That's an interesting one. Obviously it's known to employees, so it can't be to detect improper employee usage.

But if they're checking the outside world...WHY? If a vendor wants open wifi, or someone is cruising by...what are they going to do, attempt to prosecute? Good luck with that.

I entirely understand the purpose of honeypots, heck, I've set servers up for just that purpose, but open wifi for that purpose just strikes me as useless.

We don't even have one... They are worried about security....

Oh, I don't think it's widely known to employees. It's just that when someone starts trying to use it ... The idea is to come and have a talk about the internet access policy

Ah, you're just one of the special people! Got it.

no, I'm just the one who thought to himself ... "hmmm, a wifi named "public wifi" ... that HAS to be a honeypot." and then asked the right discrete question of the right IT guy and got the technically correct answer "I wouldn't use ANY public Wifi from on campus unless I wanted a visit from the policy and procedures people"

I took the wink wink, nod nod answer and made some assumptions

So glad my company has a friendly IT policy, so glad my company has a friendly IT policy...repeating to self quietly at desk...

After seeing the changes to the plan that I would have to go through, I think I'm just going to stick with the Blackberry for a while. At least with that I'm grandfathered in to the unlimited data plan!.
