Anyone order 400,000 foneras?

Fon got an order for 400,000 Fonera WiFi routers in January


"While we still can’t disclose from who Fon got an order for 400K Foneras I can say that it is a mobile operator. Mobile operators are realizing that Fon is their amigo. That for them it’s great when customers who paid their monthly 3G fees offload their traffic on to a WiFi network. More to follow."

  1. IMHO, Fon is really stepping backwards to "simpler" routers because they are cheaper, and Fon has discovered the hard way that they don't have the brand recognition to unload more expensive gadgets. People are more likely to buy a cheapo router from an unknown company (as Fon truly still is), than a fancy expensive router. Problem is, this new one is still about $20 too much.

    Fon forgot their 4th Birthday on the 6th of this month! They forgot last year's too.
