The really bonkers thing is, its a Wifi access point rather than a client. So unless the user changes the SID to something innocuous, all the neighbors know when someone is using it, and with a bit of triangulation they can work out who (assuming they don't just tune in to the show, of course).
I can see why it being an AP (or Ad-Hoc) might be useful though in some cases. ie: places with no wifi router. (where you might be feeling a bit frisky.)
