The Spanish start-up FON, which makes Wi-Fi routers, “announced it is partnering with Time Warner Cable to allow broadband subscribers to access any FON Wi-Fi hotspot in the world, giving them the ability share their wireless service and roam wirelessly onto other broadband networks for free.”
According to the article, FON's La Fonera router is designed for easy installation. It uses standard 802.11g technology. Users just need to plug the device into their existing broadband modem, which turns their broadband connection into a FON access point. The article also says that FON already has relationships with dozens of ISPs outside the U.S., including BB.Excite in Japan and Interoute in Germany. Yes, and I think FON will build more relationships with many companies in different countries.
"Time Warner recognizes that its customers don't just want to use their broadband service at home," "They are out in the world, and they want access where ever they are." I strongly agree with that. If Time Warner agrees and offers the new service,
It will be so cool, and I will use the service.
