		<description>The model is faulty imvho - most people will prefer to share their connection with neighbours, if only just because they live in residential areas and not the &#039;CBDs&#039; where roaming might be wanted. 
Neigbours will still share their connections using the local accounts AND get free roaming in the fon network.

		<description>great business you are building.

will attempt that all wifi routers in Andes, New York, become foneros.

you can see in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ballantinemanor.com/media/html/awgny.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.ballantinemanor.com/media/html/awgny.html&lt;/a&gt; article of the new york times that Andes, New York, has the first wifi enabled main street in the usa.

would be very happy to support the role out of foneros around the world.


what are your plans and timelines for asia?



have a great day, andreas</description>

		<description>Martin --

Just a quik question. If I become a ´Bill´ and an Alien uses my network and that of other ´Bill´ Foneros, how is the revenue split?

Alien connects to my Hotspot (Bill-1). He pays EUR 2.00 to FON, I get EUR 1.00. Then he connects, within the same day, to another Bill Hotspot (Bill-2), but presumably doesn´t pay again. 

Does Bill-2 get any money?

The same equation can be done with the ISPs.

		<description>Hi Dan, 

FON´s target was to have 25K foneros by year end, at the rythm we are going we will do 20K this month alone.  We are quickly becoming the largest hotspot network in the world but it´s a random network, mostly residential.  FON aims at having roaming agreements with all networks and in this way increase value to our partners and to foneros as well.  

Regards,</description>

		<description>That is very good news Martin, congratulations. 

1) The major ISPS in NA are offering VOIP packages, similar to Vonage. There are several of the systems around. How do you see the fact that you are backed by Skype and the effect of Skype use through FON hotspots would have on the ISPs?

2) Some major ISPs offer Wi-Fi hotspot systems and services, which they are deploying through outlets such as corner stores, mail stores, and even telephone booths. They have invested or are investing hundreds of millions of $ in this. How do you address the effect of FON on this particular service they offer?</description>

		<description>That is quite interesting, but I won&#039;t share my broadband connection until I know for sure that I&#039;ll be able to get free internet thru FON wherever I go.</description>
