Contracts are the same everywhere. But when carriers realize that to be a fonero you have to first be a paying customer of them and that it is paying customers who travel the world with their signal they see that Fon decreases their churn (people tend to disconnect if they travel frequently) and increases their sign up (now you pay at home but roam the world) and they embrace Fon as many have done. IF they help us sell fon like Neuf Telecom in France we give them a revenue share and they like us even more. So we will probably make a deal with Finnish ISPs. We are in 140 countries and have not had any problems. Nikita, when we arrive at a country that´s what some people always say. Contracts are the same everywhere.

Fon sounds like an interesting idea (even in sparsely populated country like Finland), but there will be problems with Finnish ISPs and their service terms. For example, Finnish ISP Saunalahti strictly forbids sharing the Internet connection with anyone else outside the client's household, and it's my impression that most if not all of other ISPs have similar terms.
