Free FON wifi routers to anyone who lives in the US

(See disclosure notice at the end of this post.)

Fon continues to try to build critical mass by offering wifi routers at a price waaaay below their cost. The current version of the router, La Fonera, actually is quite a nice object. Today—and I think only today—you can get one for free if you live in the US. It's Fon's first birthday today...

(Disclosure: I am on Fon's board of advisors and have been granted some stock options. But I joined the board because I think Fon is a crazy idea that could help make free wifi far more widely available, including and especially in poorer parts of the world.) [Tags: fon wifi]
