   That would be a list of wi-fi routers, etc., that are there for you to   
   potentially make a connection to.  They are not (necessarily) a list of   
   people who can spy on your device, so long as you don't try to connect to   
   them.   
      
   Most of them should be password protected and not allow you to connect to   
   them, even if you want to.  Exceptions would be if you happen to live near   
   a business that offers free wi-fi to customers, or near someone who has not   
   properly secured their home network.   
      
   That said, unless you have wi-fi of your own, it does make sense to turn   
   the wi-fi off on the phone.
