I await enlightenment!:D

This is all down to good old Microsoft Windows. See the explanation here: http://www.wlanbook.com/free-public-wifi-ssid/

PS: congrats to Benson for the amazing achievement. Hope Nokia sends you a freebie for such selfless dedication to their cause.

By the way, did I say thanks?

There was an old Windows bug that caused those ad hoc networks to appear. Maybe some machines around you have not been patched.
