This is one of the funnier things I've seen lately, in a "people are sleazy" context. See, Seattlewireless.com has nothing to do with seattlewireless.net, other than stealing some of the maps and imagery (and momentum), and of course irritating a lot of the people whose free open APs suddenly appear on this 'commercial' network. I don't get to complain as much because he put silly text over my map point in the apartment I no longer inhabit. :-)

In fact, the sleazeball even went so far as writing the following very misleading "press release":

Wednesday, March 5, Seattle - Seattle Wireless, a Social Wireless Area

Network (SWAN) platform provider, announced the expansion of its

services to the 12 largest metropolitan cities across North America,

making the Wi-Fi technology company the nation's largest Wi-Fi provider.

Unrivaled from other community wireless providers, Seattle Wireless is

dedicated to offering the convergence of telecommunications and

computing.

"At Seattle Wireless, we see people as not being slaves to the wires.

With the instantly accessible, coast to coast rollout, it is true

Wi-Freedom.meaning a network from and for the people," said Pano Kroko,

CEO of Seattle Wireless. "With the availability of Seattle Wireless in

these cities, Seattle-based businesses and consumers can depend and

trust our technology wherever they may travel. We also are looking

forward to adding additional cities in Q2."
