If you want to follow just one rule, it's this:-

Instruct your users to never (I mean NEVER) use applications which run

Security first.

Indeed. If you know ahead of time unencrypted 802.11(whatever) is going to be used, *always* use a VPN or tunnel of some sort to secure your traffic (if the apps you'll be using have no native encryption).
