    Telecommunication companies have special licensing that allows them to offer mobile data without following all the same rules they would otherwise have to follow if they used different frequencies. Cell phone network data isn’t regulated the same as other frequencies.

    If you wirelessly access an SSL website over an amateur packet radio system, you are breaking the law. Almost no one ever does this but it’s still bullshit that it’s not allowed.
