wi-fi

Hi,

If I understand the wi-fi correctly it only is "on" or transmitting Rf
when someone is using it. Meaning it can be plugged in but not active
till its being used. Anyone?

It has to be transmitting some sort of signal continuously, otherwise
a laptop would never be able to find it. However, perhaps a wifi
transmitter that is not being actively used is less harmful than
one that is???

Has anyone heard of legal cases relating to suing of neighbours due to
wifi/dect etc if they wont co-operate, a sort of E harrassment, unwanted rf thing
? They have been doing it for years in London where one comercial building
interferes with anothers electrical equipment.
