Andy Carvin has posted an interesting article on the PBS Teachers Learning Now site about legislative efforts in Utah to block wireless access for teens. I’m not even sure how that would be possible. Imagine, coffee shops that currently have open wi-fi networks might have to restrict their clientele the same way bars do, or card their customers in order to provide a code to join their network. What about a home network that isn’t restricted? Would you be breaking the law if a teen connected without your knowledge or consent? What about in your own home? How would this impact Internet access on cell phones? I can’t see this working out well.
