It's not unlicenced; it's unregulated. You need a licence to access any part
of the spectrum; some portions of which are unregulated and essentially
unlicenced. But - this means that you have a right to use certain hardware
to access the spectrum: there are still restrictions as regarding use,
always.

No, I don't mean either of these. I mean providing internet access to the
public via 802.11 is illegal.

Your further posting about peering agreements means that consume obviously
haven't realised this? 

Cheers,
