I actually want all ISPs and mobile vendors to make it default and turn all free wifi into an opaque transport layer.
Well yeah, but I'd rather them be subject to a legal requirement to make it an "opaque transport layer".
I'd prefer it to just be "if it's opaque, you're clearly not responsible for content, therefore no portals ever"
ie, you have an ISP account that you auth to, but no WiFi portals, encrypt everything, and no liability for providing free WiFi
It will de-incentivize free wifi providers from doing idiotic/sketchy stuff.
