At least in iOS 5, I see an option for "Auto-Join" for individual networks. Granted, this
network is a captive network, so it also has an "Auto-Login" option. The effect of this is
that I will not auto-join this specific (wide area) network, but I will still auto-join the smaller
network.

Another consequence is that any access point which mimics the security configuration of a known network will be trusted. Same for a MacOS laptop.
