I believe the question was use of the access to spam, not just that the majority of users leave their equipment (all, not just the wireless part) in the original, out-of-the-box configuration. Remember those comments on the flahsing 12:00 on most VCRs?
BTW, everyone out there with a random number/character upper/lower case password at least 12 characters long on every piece of equipment they own, different username/password on each piece please, raise your hand. Thought so. ;) Note my hand is not raised. I'd go nuts. Although the approriate pieces do conform to this.

Yes. If you sit with your laptop in the park across from our office you can see 3 unprotected wireless domains. There was an article [although I can't remember what publication] featuring a few people driving through the City of London [London's financial community area] they found serveral unprotected LANs.
