I just noticed this at the Fon Shop. It seems Fon is giving away free access before you even get your Fonera up and running.The La Fonera is the 1-port edition of FON’s cool WiFi routers. It is easy to install, offers data transfer rates of up to 54Mbps, and works with all your WiFi-ready devices (laptops, phones, MP3 players, etc.). The standard range is between 10-50 meters depending on the environment.
What’s even cooler, La Fonera allows you to securely share your broadband Internet service with the FON Community. In exchange, you get free access to hundreds of thousands of hotspots created by you and other FON members. With La Fonera, you can also determine how much bandwidth you want to share, personalize your Access Portal with your own videos and pictures, and even make money from others accessing your hotspot! The moment you buy your La Fonera you get 3 weeks of free access to all our FON Spots worldwide - so you don’t have to wait for it to arrive to start surfing.
Buy La Fonera and get the FON Signal Booster ‘La Fontenna’ for only $/€9.95 more (save $/€ 10!) To get the discount, add both products to the cart.
I never noticed this before... maybe it's just late and i'm tired, but I don't feel suprised. :(
ReplyDeleteFon is all about "give us your email address, and we'll have our chumps give you free wifi", and "buy our wifi router that also ties shoes and beats eggs, and we'll have our chumps give you free wifi"...
Fine; give them your email address. Buy their router and join us chumps.
