Just cause there are unprotected WLANs dosn't imply that spammers use them (perhaps its to hard for the spammers ;)). Corporations should protect ther WLANs but saying that spamming is a great threat is to overdo it.
I agree, but people said that the spammers wouldn't be able to deal with BGP route advertisement but there was cases of spammers injecting routes sending out spam then removing those routes. Wlan is easy.
