Well huge companies like T Mobile have say, 70,000, France Telecom, Telefonica, ATT, Verizon, less than T Mobile. But we grow over a T Mobile every month. And we are happy because between you and I, 2 years ago, things looked awful at Fon. Laptops were not able to generate enough interest in WiFi roaming. But then the iPhone came along. The iPhone, that beautiful bandwidth hog. We were also helped by netbooks, Androids, iPods, iPads, tablets, game consoles and all kinds of smartphones. WiFi gadgets are everywhere. Demand for WiFi exceeds supply. And at Fon, together with our telco partners such as BT, SFR, Zon, and others we are working hard so there is WiFi everywhere as an accessible signal. As we like to say, with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fon.com\">Fon<\/a> you share a little WiFi at home and roam the world for free.<\/p>\n<p>Are we happy? Contentos si, but not content. We want more WiFi. We are going for 10 million fonspots!!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of Fon managers in Madrid I took this afternoon at our &#8220;cuartel general&#8221;. We need to add those of our managers around the world. Our Foneros.
