b'FON ( http://www.fon.com/),\\na Spanish startup that is building an international WiFi community, is\\nselling and organizing WiFi access to anyone who wishes to join and\\nconnect to the Internet. According to their website:\\n

It all started as a simple idea: enjoy WiFi technology everywhere\\nacross a WiFi infrastructure built by same members of the FON\\nCommunity. Joining us is just as easy. All you need is to register for\\nfree, have broadband connection and to download our software onto your\\nrouter. This converts your router into a FON Social Router. If you do\\nnot have a router that is compatible with FON\'s software, you can\\npurchase one of our subsidized FON Social Routers at our online store.\\n

\\n\\n\\nFON launched early this year and has been successful\\nin raising almost $22 million from companies like eBay (includes Skype)\\nand Google.
