Comment on Hotel Wi-Fi blocking: Marriott is badparent

Comments

The use-case doesn't really matter; it's against the regulations for that radio band to interfere with other people's usage. Even if you think they're attempting to commit fraud.

Right about radio but the thread was talking about Cisco sending deauth packets to rouge APs.

... as was I! Just because you consider an AP to be rogue doesn't mean it's legal for you do something about it.

Right! because who decides if it is a rogue AP. In this cause Marriott has decided that all AP's that don't belong to them are rogue.

And I would argue that as it is their building they can decide what is legal and what is not, no?
