Explicitly ALLOW passersby to use your wireless network, free of charge, and advertise the fact (on sites like www.consume.net) We do this (a technology company), but plenty of other companies are, to name just a couple, a cafe-bar in the middle of Horsham, a Morgan car dealer... In both cases they did it to promote their core services "browse the Internet while you have a drink" or "browse the Internet while you car is being MOTd". We have two wireless networks - one insecure just with Internet access for visitors / passersby, and one secure which has access to our servers (which, of course, run their own security anyway.)
