Default Is it theorectically or practically even possible to mooch off if a typical WISP

Is it theorectically or practically even possible to mooch off if a typical
WISP

In the iPhone newsgroups, a typical Apple Fundamentalist assumed I mooch
off of my SF Bay Area Santa Cruz Mountain WISP simply because I get my
Internet connection over the air via a WISP ISP a couple of mountains away.

In my response to this iOS right winger, who is used to so used to paying
through the nose for everything that he can't even comprehend the *concept*
of legitimate freeware, I told him (nospam) that I can't possibly even
*think* of how a typical WISP would accidentally allow moochers.

While I used to have a 2.4GHz Rocket M2, I switched to the less noisy 5GHz
Rocket M5 which has vertical and horizontal channels that are set by the
WISP (who logs into the antenna to set it up from afar).

Certainly the WISP keeps logs of all connections, and, in my case, he has
to assign a static IP address to *each* customer.

So, this question is only one of theoretical/practical possibilities.

Is it even theoretically or practically possible to mooch off of your WISP
provider without him knowing about it (assuming he's a normal conscientious
WISP using all the normal tools that a WISP would use).
