You of course know that you are wrong and the law doesn't specify

Go read the Wireless Telegraphy Act, 1949 to see that you're 100% wrong.
Actually, you only have to read the very first sentence of it.


OK, Here it is:

"No person shall establish or use any station for wireless telegraphy
or instal or use any apparatus for wireless telegraphy except under
the authority of a licence in that behalf granted by the Postmaster
General, and any person who establishes or uses any station for
wireless telegraphy or instals or uses any apparatus for wireless
telegraphy except under and in accordance with such a licence
shall be guilty of an offence under this Act."

Except for specifying "in use" __as well__ as "establish" and
"install" how is Mr Kraftee wrong?


Thats not too well written after a receiver is equipment for wireless
telegraphy..

No mention of wireless telephony but telegraphy could mean digital...

suppose a wi-fi point could be construed a wireless telegraph
transmitter)..

The old 1949 act has been updated since..
