Video review of Fonera 2.0n, the best value WiFi router, NAS and home server
November 20th, 2009 by business web hosting
I am a big fan of FON. It enables you to have free access to a million WiFi hotspots in the world in exchange for sharing your own WiFi at home with your neighbors. FON routers broadcast 2 WiFi signals, one is a personal WPA-password protected WiFi SSID and the other is the open WiFi SSID for sharing your Internet connection using the FON DNS authentication login page so people are not able to do illegal things anonymously on your WiFi. This newest Fonera 2.0n router is much more than just a …

For example, if FON “simply” sign a deal with Free in France, and ask Neuf to activate FON sharing by default and “opt-out” instead of “opting-in”, then from one day to the next, you would basically have millions of compatible FON hotspots in France, which would basically mean anyplace you are in the streets of any city in France you would have a compatible hotspot with instant FON login capability.

Also, the fastest way for FON to reach blanket coverage I think would be to sign more deals with more ISPs and have them all interoperate. FON should implement roaming aggreements with many more ISPs. If I have to pay 1euro per hour (billed by the minute) or 1euro per GB for connecting to any user of some specific other ISP, then I don’t mind at all if it just takes from my FON wifi money automatically and simply lets me log-in with my FON user account.

I don’t care about the actual number of active hotspots. The most important thing is I see many active fonspots here in Copenhagen, with fon maps downloaded to my Android, I can also find free FON wifi within 500 meters. The important thing here is the vision and we should all work towards that. What matters is that we all have free wireless broadband everywhere as soon as possible.

Fon doesn’t have 1M hotspots, even when combining BT/VON/ect to the Foneras! AND WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? Fon claims to have >1M *members*, after redefining that to include every email which they collected who asked for 15-min trial wifi. AND WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? Fon never verifies these emails; many are fraudulent. Fon and CEO Martin Varsavsky are well-documented as saying a “member” maintains a Fon hotspot. The redefinition is a slap in the face to we who have supported Fon physically!

This is totally amazing!
I hope you win the 500$
Have you send it to Martin?
