https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tosdr/e2FcSpDDKIQ/Twly11qENRMJ I recently spent a few nights at Fountaingrove Inn in Santa Rosa, CA, USA
. The tragically slow speed of the Wi-Fi gave
me time to scan the ToS on the annoying "connect to the internet" redirect
that I typically ignore when connecting to public Wi-Fi. I was particularly
appalled by the "high volume usage" condition, and sections 1.6, 2.1,
2.1.3, 2.5.

I propose ratings for hotel (or public) Wi-Fi that include:
- Presence of DNS hijacking to force a connection screen, which makes me
disable DNSCrypt and OpenDNS to connect
- JavaScript or HTML injection

- Port blocks, such as SMTP
- Morality clauses that trump expression

Fountaingrove Inn's terms of service below, unmodified:
