This post is also an invitation to Foneros from around the world to join in this initiative which while mostly UK it can be joined by people from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Why The Wave? Well, first of all it&#8217;s fun. Secondly a WiFi community is just like a Mexican Wave: people contribute with their individual (radio) wave, and the more people, the better it gets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.martinvarsavsky.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/wave1.png\" alt=\"wave1.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anybody can be part of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.contagiousmagazine.com\/News%20Article.aspx?REF=774&#038;IsArchive=false\">The Biggest Mexican Wave<\/a>.
