There are "continuing concerns" surrounding open Wi-Fi under the Digital Economy Act, according to Dr Damian Tambini, member of the Communications Consumer Panel and senior lecturer at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
"This is an area where there could be considerable consumer detriment over the next 12 months," Dr Tambini said.
The expert went on to say that it is establishing liability for any misuse of an open Wi-Fi network under the Act which is the cause of concern.
Dr Tambini said that these concerns could "lead to a diminishing" of community and local Wi-Fi network providers.
His comments followed a news report by the Guardian newspaper last week in which it said solicitors for Ministry of Sound have sent letters to thousands of internet users the dance music label believes have illegally downloaded music.
