<p>Riding the the train daily is the norm in the eastern United States. The urban density and shorter distances between metros allows it to be affordable.<p>The US is massive... riding the train between most cities is dramatically more expensive than flying and takes most of a day if not multiple days between cities.<p>I used to commute weekly between two cities in Texas and it was a 2 hour flight. (Houston - Lubbock)</p>

<p>Well.. they pay the checks so it was easy to go shadow IT. They paid the company that manages the physical building to install access pipes on the roof and run the cables between the dish and the routers. Dishes sitting on the roof and routers above the drop ceiling.<p>Didn't even notice until the wifi rogue detector flagged the SSID due to it's relative strength (we're in a highly contested area for 2.4 and 5 Ghz).</p>

<p>We just caught our company president, CFO, and head of sales using smuggled Starlink dishes on the roof with wide open wifi because our firewall "broke things".<p>Thank goodness for all the other layers... the firewall is just doing basic hygiene. The SASE and zero trust policies are doing the heavy lifting.<p>No one want's to follow any rules and when caught out do not want to take respnsibility for their own actions.<p>Since it was an open wifi, I hope we get nailed for hosting child porn or cryptocoin scams... ffs</p>
