Spanish Wi-Fi Company Sells Wireless Routers For Five Dollars

FON, a Spanish start-up on an ambitious crusade to turn home Wi-Fi connections into wireless "hotspots" for nearby users, is set to unveil Monday a plan to hand out 1 million wireless routers for just $5 apiece. I wonder if FON is planning on coming to America with an offer like that.

FON, which aims to create a network of home users and small businesses to resell wireless access to passersby, said Sunday it will subsidize $60 Cisco Linksys or Buffalo routers for $5 in the United States or 5 euros in Europe. Routers are small boxes users connect to cable or telephone Internet connections to broadcast wireless signals to nearby devices, inside a home, business or surrounding neighborhood.
