The crux of FON is to interchange bandwidth in your home with bandwidth outside of your home. This will enable you to pay exactly what you\u2019re paying now but with much better service, since what you\u2019ll have is access to a wifi nation. In addition, I realised today that thanks to WiFiFONs \u2013 which we plan to launch in November (a mobile WiFi telephone that connects to the FON network) \u2013 and the flat fee for a fixed line offered by Telefonica, Jazztel or Ya.comm to which most FON members are already subscribed to, users will be able to do something really neat.<\/p>\n
The idea is the following: that each FON member connects his\/her WIFIFON to the flat fee she\/he is subscribed to so that, instead of paying us, say, 5c a minute, the user speaks for FREE. I suppose my marketing colleagues will say that this is shooting ourselves in the foot but while we will have to find another way of making money, from a user’s perspective, I think it\u2019s great to be able to use your own connection to transfer mobile-to-phone.<\/p>\n
