At work (a small company) I run multiple subnets with different security for each.
The wireless is just a service for clients that need to borrow it. I have it sitting directly on the Internet behind a simple NAT firewall. No wireless security at all. Just like a coffee shop!!!
The rest of my subnets are behind their own separate NAT firewalls at a minimum, so I'm secure from whatever happens on that unsecure segment..
Greg,
what about your/your employers liability wrt possible criminal use of your wifi? A freeloader downloading child-pornography, making plans for world domination or sharing copyrighted material via bittorrent?

I don't know about in Zürich, but in the US I don't think the liability is significant. Are you talking about the liability of being investigated. In general, that comes down to subpoena compliance. Since our company does that sort of activity as our primary revenue source, we can do a little for ourselves. FYI: I'm aware of a situation where an apartment dweller had a wide open wireless. His neighbor used it to hack into his home PC. And then stored illicit images there. When the police came, yes they first arrested the owner of the PC. Further investigation showed he had nothing to with storing the images, so he was not convicted of child porn activity.
