Presumably this means privelege escalation is legal. By putting up a public web/mail/router service you are implying authorised access for some purpose (viewing a web page, sending an email, making packets go from A to B) thus /any/ use is now legal (as long as it it not dishonest by the terms of the act).
I don't see anything in the act that says making an unsecured service availiable implies authorisation. It seems to me (not that I'm a lawer) that the intent of the act is to make such access illegal, in the same way as it's illegal for you to take things from my house, even if I leave to door open.
