At Fondoo.net we offer ADSL connections to the UK for Foneros. We don't have a mobile ISP service though. @2 Windows is not more simple than Linux! There are ISPs which allow and encourage Fon.

It was so much fun having people follow it. It's such a geeky concept, but oh so cool too!

Really enjoy your videos from these places you visit. It would be so totally awesome if you could simplify and somehow just run FON in Windows.

A probable future FON:product could be a router with a Smart card/SIM interface as well as a GSM/HSDPA/GPRS/UMTS unit in order to provide am easy "One Box System" for setting up a wireless Internet gateway nearly everywhere - as long as any mobile phone service is in range. I know, this is only a very simple idea of a product which will be probably never developed. And as far as I can see no one of the mobile ISPs will set up data flat rates which can be (mis)used this way because they could not earn anything with it. The main problem of FON in the next years will be lawsuits against it's community members by ISPs who see FON as one of their hugest competitors in future (I think of T-Com aka. T-Mobile here in Germany for example). Solving the ISP problem - perhaps even worldwide - will be the biggest To-Do for you and your employees, I guess.
