OK, now that we've established that the security properties of WLANs
are identical to those of cellular networks (I wish that Farooq had
pointed this out several years ago -- it would have saved a lot of
time in 802.11i), I guess we can dispense with any further
discussion of such things.  Furthermore, no enterprise networks will
be listed in the hints, just SPs.  Suppose, then, that Bigco.com
contracts with Consort.com to provide remote access for Bigco's
employees when they are traveling.  Suppose also that Consort.com is
a roaming partner of Megatel.com, which operates hotspots in
coffeehouses around the world.  A Bigco employee walks into a
Megatel hotspot and tries to access the network.  How does that
work?  Does it work at all?
