This is the year in which Europe will either fall apart or emerged stronger. I give it 75% that it emerges as a stronger union but the risk of collapse is still there. Germany has the key to solve the problem because of the size of its economy, its saving rate and its export volume. Germany has to decide on whether it continues to transfer some of its wealth in order to create markets for its exports or it let’s Europe fall apart and ends up with an overvalued currency and deteriorated markets. Already today it started paying negative interest rates which is a prelude in my view to a huge rise in the DM should it be born again. Tough choice. I think Germany can actually both save Europe and make money by buying underpriced Italian and Spanish bonds and selling them after stabilization. It can do what the FED did with many financial institutions, make a profit by providing much needed liquidity at a critical time.
Here you can download the FON Spot Software for Mac and Linux developed by our FON Labs. With this software you can share Fon Wifi directly from your computer.
This software is still a Beta so, please, if you find any bug or improvements, tell us on this post’s comments.
Fonspots can’t be registered as routers. Thus, you don’t earn roaming privileges. Fonspots are just an easy way to share your connection with other foneros around you.
Technical Requirements
To start the Fonspot you have to be connected to Internet through ethernet or 3G, never via Wifi because you’ll share your connection using that interface.
- MAC VERSION REQUIREMENTS
The only requirement for Mac users is having an Intel processor.
- LINUX VERSION REQUIREMENTS
We have verified that Ubuntu comes with all the required files to run the hotspot. If you want to try other distributions it’s important to check next software is installed:
- Linux* Universal TUN/TAP driver (tun.o)
- Runtime Tcl/tk
Once checked, download the next file and run this command as root: tar zxvf fon_linuxspot_beta0.2_en.tar.gz -C /
When it’s installed, run the command fonspot to make it work.
