How about this for an idea? You have broadband at home but travel a lot. You buy an additional router from FON and get access to every other FON user hotspot around the world – currently circa 650,000 . Your FON router splits your signal and your half is encrypted and those – other ‘Foneros’ – who use your signal as a hotspot also get their own encrypted use.
BT has just signed up all of their customers for free. One FON user Tom Raftery writes;I have been using a Fon router now for over a month. In case you are not aware of Fon – Fon is a company which promotes the sharing of wireless broadband. So, if you have internet access, you can buy a Fon router (for 25usd/eur) at the moment on the Fon site, when you register the router with Fon, you can use that username and password to get Internet access from any Fon router anywhere in the world (and conversely, anyone with a Fon account can get Internet access from your Fon router if they are in your area).
