AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - T-Systems, a unit Deutsche Telekom, is linking together 10,000 locations for wireless computer access and aims to connect half of the world's public hotspots to a seamless network, it said on Tuesday.

Bang on there Stuart. WEP encryption is not really relevent for chasing, nor is it secure by any means; can be hacked by any keener. There is a point to consider with encryption overall: it will decrease your throughput noticably due to overhead in the process. As far as I'm concerned, WEP total junk.
Be well, TR
