I guess my opinion, which isn't very popular
here, is that unless
permission has been explicitly given, one should not assume permission
to a local LAN, or internet access through the LAN. I do recognize that
my position is due to working frequently at secured sites. One such
facility, in San Antonio, prohibits ANY access to their network by
non-employees. Contractors must tell a technician what commands to
enter, and which buttons to click.
I agree with the above. Nobody should ever just assume it is
ok to do whatever they wish on somebody elses network withouth
getting explicit permission first. I have similar problems with
contractors in a similar secure building. If for no other reason
than it is bad etiquette to impose yourself into someone elses area
without permission to do so.
