To turn wireless communication on and off Wireless networks and cellular modems are examples of devices that use wireless communication. Such devices may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as when traveling in an airplane. If in doubt, be sure to ask for authorization before turning on your computer's wireless networking. In Italy, Singapore, and possibly other countries, you are required to ask the responsible authority for a license paid for by you before using the wireless function. Corporate Evaluator's Guide 69
