Fon Japan
Fon generated tremendous interest in Japan. We are now looking for an energetic fonero to manage our Japanese operations. What do you need to be a leader in the Fon movement? First of all you have to LOVE the internet, be very familiar with it. Secondly you need experience in communications over the internet. Fon is spread mainly through routers. Fon´s objective now is to place as many routers as possible in Japan. We are going to manufacture our own routers and we will be able to introduce them in Japan at 2500 yen, considering all the special web 2.0 features that these routers will have they should sell very well over there and help spread the Fon movement. The candidate will report to Joichi Ito.

Web 2.0 features in a router? What does that mean?

Will they also be available in the US and Europe? Peter’s post on the German FON blog kind of suggests worldwide availability.

Olaf,
Fon will price routers at very attractive prices. Already we are heavily subsidizing them and we will continue to do so.
