snip: "FON is the largest WiFi community in the
world. Our members share their wireless Internet
access at home and, in return, enjoy free WiFi
wherever they find another Fonero’s Access Point.
It all started as a simple idea. Why should you pay
for Internet access on the go when you have already
paid for it at home? Exactly, you shouldn’t. So we
decided to help create a community of people who get
more out of their connection through sharing.
We call members of the FON Community Foneros. It’s
simple to become a Fonero. You just need to buy La
Fonera, which enables you to securely and fairly
share your home broadband connection with other
Foneros.
Then when you’re away from home and you need Internet
access, just log on to a FON Access Point, and you
can use the Internet for free. You don’t need to take
your router with you – you just need to remember your
Fonero login and password."
