How do you have so many more Foneros than registered hotspots? How can I become a Fonero without a hotspot? Since many Foneros have more than one hotspot, then the number of Foneros will always be less than the number of hotspots.
But you say there are 830.000 Foneros and only 332.000 registered hotspots!
It means you really do count the Aliens as Foneros – except when you do not.

the number of FOn hotspots is really impressing …

But depending on the source of th information , you won’t get the same number of hotspots :

http://maps.francofon.fr/ gives something more like 60 K actifs hotspots , I then don’t think FOn is bigger than anyone .

You forgot the most important financial figure: 5.63 euros.

That is the amount Fon sent me via paypal last month for people using my router for connections.

Nice to see transparency and congrats on some of the numbers.

Also, your offering should be widely deployed in Latin America. What are the biggest hurdles there? For example, Bolivia which is probably slowest to adopt anything just signed a deal with Alcatel worth millions of dollars to deploy WiMax.

Hi, I just checked maps.fon.com but I could only count upto 206886 hotspots registered and 95324 active today.
I guess you added the BTfon numbers as well which still aren’t added to the maps.fon.com
Also FON isn’t yet web 2.0 aware so the foneros can rate these hotspots; I can’t connect to a fonspot on the 3rd floor and I’ve seen lot’s of fonspots from Asia located in Europe … some seem to put their fonspot not on the correct location rating would be nice; so people can see not only the “active” hotspots but also the “used” hotspots…
preferably fon could also add “ip location based” services to their fonmaps… hence there are more foneras still in the “ocean” at long=0,lattitude=0 then there are foneras in the capital of Europe…
