Would They Share?
We have launched wouldtheyshare.com, a website about whether Britain is a sharing nation. We want to spread the word about FON in the UK, and for that reason we created wouldtheyshare.com. Our site reveals the Brits' attitudes towards sharing, and we are giving away 100 La Fonera+ among people who answer our daily sharing question and register at fon.com. And there is more! Amongst this month's voters, we are giving away a trip to Madrid (flight + hotel) for two people. Check the details here: http://www.wouldtheyshare.com/win.php

FON in Forbes
FON founder Martin Varsavsky is featured in Forbes.com (sign up for a free subscription). During the interview he discusses how FON came to be; "Innovation usually comes from frustration, something I think is stupid or unreasonable," he says. "The telcos promised a fast, wireless Internet, but they mostly delivered a slow, walled garden. Fon is a movement. It is a telco built by the people." The article also features Peter Stern, an executive vice president at Time Warner discussing the benefits of FON. It's great to see our movement getting attention from the mainstream media!
