Now, how about delivering the one to me that I paid for several months ago? Well, I’m delighted you’re giving away your routers free to Americans.

When you go to register, the "Province/Region/State" field cannot be filled out, it is a dead field. I've been reading this blog for a long time, and I was hoping to be one of the benefactors of a free Fonera, but I guess not. The least the website could have done was just say they were all out of foneras, and not just make me think I'm doing something wrong. I feel like a frigging idiot. So much for signing up with FON.

That we make it easy to sell broadband, as we refer all Foneros who don´t have broadband to them. That we stop leeching as our routers are only open to those who purchase broadband and we stop churn, because the main reason for churn is travelling and, with FON, if you travel and disconnect from, say Verizon, you lose your roaming priviledges. So we have been operating in the States for a year, and all over the world for that matter and we have only made telco friends (Neuf in France Seednet in Taiwan to give two examples out of many). But I am not a lawyer and can´t give you a legal answer. All I can say is that we are seen as a benefit by all telcos we have spoken to. Hi Steve,
