When journalists ask me why is it that I am building FON my answer is simple. To enjoy a global wifi roaming network and, if I can, to make money in the process. \u00bfWhy do people join FON? Basically for the same reason. To have wifi roaming and, if they can, to make money in the process.<\/p>\n

Now, what is so original about FON? It\u00b4s not the idea, hotspots as wifi payphones were invented the minute 802.11 was defined. What\u00b4s original about FON is that our software is downloaded from the net into people\u00b4s wifi access points thereby turning their own access points into members of a global wifi network. Boingo, The Cloud, Telekom, Swisscom with Eurospot or Telefonica have all built separate wifi networks to sell hotspot services. FON turns every citizen into a hotspot provider. Once they do this, they can either be Bills and charge for their wifi or Linuses and not charge but get free roaming priviledges.<\/p>\n
