It means you live near several Hot Spots. In this day and age, many, many
folks are putting up their own "hotspot" at home so that everyone in the
home can use a single Internet provider.
I travel in my RV and it is not unusual to turn on the computer and see
anywhere from 3 to 15 hotspots. I have my own hotspot, security protected,
and if someone is traveling with me I can give them the key so they can also
log on.
People are generally much better educated and now activate the security
measures on their routers, and that is why you get the "locked" indication.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help me with
internet access questions. I really appreciate it a lot.
A follow up: I live right in the central area of Los
Angeles. When I fire up my Mac, the Wi Fi thing in the
right top of my computer comes on, and lists several
(locked) networks.
Does that mean I live near a "Wi Fi Hot Spot?" ...Greg
