Hi Glen,
I don't think Farooq was implying that (security properties of WLANs are
identical to those of cellular networks).  Anyhow, in your example,
either Megatel.com knows that it needs to route @bigco.com to
Consort.com (based on some local policy), or the user influences the
routing by NAI decoration.
