  It seems yet another 'Arlen' type of strange 'need', but AFAICT,
'Gelato' isn't 'Arlen'.

  Anyway, AFAIC, it's a non-problem, because if he doesn't want to see
his nearby apartment neighbor's networks, just don't look at them!

  I don't see my neighbours' networks, unless I specifically *look*for
them. When *outside* - his "store or my doctor's office clinic" examples
- just *do* look for networks and he will see the networks he wants to
see and will *not* see the networks he doesn't want to see, because
they'll be out of range.

  Elementary, dear Watson!
