From Catherine Roseberry, for About.com

Definition: Marking a sidewalk or building to identify it as a location with unsecured wireless LAN access points. It can also mean putting the street address on a web site listing hot spots.
Examples: Companies and individuals should always make sure their wireless LANs are secure so they don't end up in a war chalk directory.
