No more open WiFi hotspots?

Are people becoming more security aware or have manufacturers simply started to ship WiFi base-stations with encryption enabled as default? All of the eight stations in ranger here by the market square in Töölöö, Helsinki, had encryption turned on - even the one named "default".

Good news from a security perspective. Bad news for those who would like to see cities covered in open hot-spots available to the passing laptop/pda user.
