- xyzzy123 14y agoWell, it's rather like karma: "As a member of the Fon community, you agree to share a little bit of your WiFi at home, and get free roaming at Fon Spots worldwide in return."
- koopajah 14y agoNot exactly because you don't have the ratio idea where you have to share XXX MB with someone before having YYY MB for yourself. In France Free is a well-known ISP offering this kind of feature with its ADSL box. You open your WI-FI to others and then you have access to every other WIFI shared by users from this ISP.
- morphyn 14y agoMy bad, it's pretty much the same. I didn't know about their "money making WiFi" feature. Pretty sure they didn't have it when they launched.
- evoxed 14y agoNot just Europe– I had a test unit from way back for when they were entering the US, though they never got really big (I do see them occasionally). In Japan I see them everywhere.
- sdsantos 14y agoThe second large ISP in Portugal has FON active by default on their routers. It's really easy to find one here.
