FON: Pressemitteilung (english)

The campaign "Fonero Gets Fonero” is being launched December 21, 2006, in good time for Christmas and will help make the already burgeoning FON community substantially more attractive than before. In the past two months alone, over 6,000 new FONspots have been installed in Germany alone and several more thousands around the world. With each new FONspot, FONeros increase the WiFi coverage to be enjoyed by other FONeros when on the road.

Signing up a friend as a new Foneros couldn't be easier and can be done in just three simple steps:

1.Each FONero can offer a single friend or acquaintance a free La Fonera by email
2.Email leads to a special site were the promo is explained
3.Once accepted the promo, La Fonera WiFi router is already waiting at FON Shop for €0.00 including the delivery charge.

Martin Varsavsky, founder and CEO of FON, regards the "Fonero gets Fonero" campaign as a gift to the Community: "It is Christmas time and we want to thank our loyal FONeros and reward their trust and commitment by offering them the opportunity to give new community members a Christmas present. At the same time, it is they who decide which friends they most want to surf with. In this way, they enlarge the community with FONspots in sought-after locations."

FON continues to advance relentlessly across the globe. Well over 200,000 registered members have currently joined the Community in more than 200 countries worldwide.
