Fon, an internet startup offering Free global wifi connection, is planning to sell cheap routers at USD$5 a piece. I wouldn't mind getting a few as souvenirs. FON is a Global Community of people who share WiFi, and roam the world for free. Their plans are great and its good to see a cheap affordable service becoming mainstream. With soaring global oil prices, this routers are cheaper than the spaghetti carbonara I had in Rome back in April 2006.Mr Urbanski said Fon was aiming to have 50,000 working hotspots worldwide by September, 150,000 by year-end and one million hotspots by the end of 2007. To date, 54,000 people worldwide have signed up to become "foneros," up from 3,000 in February, according to the company.
Fon will sell wi-fi routers, which allow people to surf the net wirelessly, for $5 (£2.75). The company, which has financial backing from Google and Skype, aims to create public wi-fi networks street by street across the US and Europe.
