Many wifi providers don't actually log the information required to cover you - fact.  We've recently taken over around 20 sites from a competitor when they went bust and when we reconfigured their equipment, there was NO form of logging capability.  No VPN access, no syslog servers, no netflow. Nada. Nothing. Its a good job those customers switched to Candengo, and didn't opt to simply have their service re-enabled (although some did)  - as no logging means that any civil or criminal cases will stop with the broadband bill payer. A case in the...
