FON interest?

[Devin McBride]

Actually, I was looking there...although their 'service' seems
gimmicky...it appears you can get a dirt cheap linksys WRT54GL for
$25...they just preopen the box and install their software...after which
is arrives, you take it out and reinstall the standard linksys firmware
;)

Lots of hype .. its a gimmick.  They want to ultimately push into the
wifi voip market with this network buildout....
 
You have to run *their* stuff...

	Has anyone experience using or recommend FON.
	http://en.fon.com/info/what-is-fon.php
	"FON is a Global Community of people who share WiFi. Share your
WiFi broadband access at home/work and enjoy WiFi all over the world!

	Is FON an open WiFi network to bring free WiFi/Internet to the
community by sharing of personal WiFi networks?
	
	
	Please advise, thanks.  Chuck
