But a WPA PSK network is as likely to be a trusted home network as it is a coffee shop that puts on a password so that you have to be inside to see the password on a flier or something, or a university network open to thousands of people. Asking seems safest. But another danger: if I am at home but my computer is not behind a personal router with a NAT, do I select Home or Public? The average user does not know and will pick Home. A prompt to select a network zone needs to be carefully thought out to make it less likely that the user picks wrong.
