Don,
This website has TONS of tech savvy readers who can comment on wi-fi comm specs. I confine myself to the context of the Directors "warning" only.
Items 1 and 4. re "Invading the Mexican communication system" and "Using the Federal communications system without a permit" - just by using WiFi?
Nonsense. Similarly to the U.S., WiFi uses legally allocated frequencies of the (Mexican) public broadcasting spectrum that do not/cannot identify
citizenship/residence-status of the transmitter. Every foreign traveller in an international airport using a laptop would be guilty of an offence if
this statements were literally true.
THE DIRECTOR IS ADDRESSING FOREIGN RESIDENTS ILLEGALLY PROVIDING A REVENUE-PRODUCING SERVICE.

Gnukid. I think you weren't smoking anything after I reread your comments. I think you innocently were not aware that Don Alley sent the message ON
to Baja Nomads. But I think it has been pretty much cleared up that this was for Loreto residents only. Don inadvertantly opened a can of worms
innocently. (huh don?) I also know Jacques through his scheduled meetings for local gringos & anyone else who is interested in what's going on in
Loreto. He's a 'giver' , not a taker.
So your "jumping into this without putting the correct fuel in your engine may have caused Jacques some embarrassing moments from Mexico City.
Any chance you might paste & display your "letter" you sent to M.C. showing the direction you were trying to go????? Being able to read this
might allow "us" to soften this somewhat with Mexico City.
I gather from your prior posts since you've "sign on" that you take the politics in Loreto pretty serious, huh? What are your ties to Loreto, out of
curiosity.

Am I the only one who thinks Gnukid is just blowing smoke.
And ,if not, I doubt anyone in Mexico City will take him seriously.

OK, here's my 2 pesos worth...I agree Jesus Jaques was just trying to warn folks of any possible infractions and that this matter will be
investigated...a heads up...wouldn't you prefer to be warned rather than given 24 hrs to clear out of your home??? These things usually come from a
complaint from a local mexican and I for one get tired of seeing expats providing services like selling things, doing things that compete with the
mexican economy...like illegal fishing charters, luxury home rentals, fixing boats/cars, charging others for wifi,...it's fine if they do it legally
and pay the hacienda and get all the permits etc...but gee whiz...it just doesn't seem fair to provide services illegally that compete with mexican
businesses....please try to patronize the local legal businesses and try not to get offended when officials try to warn you of the illegalities of
some things.

A Heads-up is exactly what it is and we should welcome it.
