Today, I am happy to announce that the company I\u00a0started just over six years ago<\/a>, Fon<\/a>, has just passed the important milestone of five million hotspots.<\/p>\n

Why is this important? Because while many have tried to build a large and global WiFi network, Fon has been the only company in the world to actually achieve this. No other network even comes close to us. Fon is everywhere, even in residential locations, where no other WiFi hotspots can be found. \u00a0Brussels<\/a>, Lisbon<\/a>, London<\/a>\u00a0and Tokyo<\/a> are completely covered with Fon WiFi.<\/p>\n

We are growing so fast, that in 2011 alone we added two million new hotspots. This year, I predict that Fon will grow its number of hotspots by at least 50 percent, so there is lots of work ahead to make sure this happens.<\/p>\n

I am proud of Fon and its large, global WiFi network. I started this company with a goal to create a truly global WiFi community, where everyone sharing a little bit of their connection gets free WiFi anywhere in the world in return.<\/p>\n

Every day, I feel that we\u2019re getting closer to this goal. The WiFi revolution continues.<\/p>\n
