Never mind that the browser doesn’t work.
Om, now that you have personal experience and such media clout, why don’t you start a device standards association and make another billion dollars.
This scheme mentioned in this article will not work in rural America where satellite broadband is the only thing available.
Picture this: a ten jeep caravan pulls into a resort gas station to fill up.
They all have their iphone setup to autoconnect and sync there 2 megapixel photos they have been out capturing for two days while ohving. Bam the daily limit of useage set by the satellite provider is hit and nobody gets to connect for 24 hrs.

…the attack stems from the wireless client’s association from one passpoint to the next. PSKs can be gleaned in anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 days.
