Bills

The details below are not final! Your input is always appreciated.
The idea currently being discussed is to charge aliens 2 USD or Euro per 24 hours, with the purchase of 5 days. To purchase a one time use, it’s 3 USD or Euro. Half of this goes to the Bill. Payments will be made through Pay Pal. Linuses will be able to use any FON spot, Bill or not, for free. Again not final but the target live date is the end of June. Stay tuned for further details.

$2 = €1.57
That is a 27% price hike.

It is still very reasonable compared with other Wi-Fi access though!

This sounds much better than the $5 first announced.
How is it split if a user uses more than one hotspot during his time? (Guessing this is allowed?).

Why not split up the bandwidth? For example:

20% for everyone who has access
40% for users sharing their connection
40% for users who pay.

non sharing users pay:
$1 for 1 hour
$5 for one day
$20 for one month

sharing users:
$5 for one month

This way everyone can profit and it is also interesting for people who share their connection to pay an extra ammount to get full bandwidth.

2$/2€ for 24h is reasonable...

I have a 100MBs LAN Connection. I share that connection as a BILL.

I would like to have several options for my clients:
-1 day pass
-3 day pass
-5 day pass
-10 day pass
-1 month pass
-3 months pass
-6 moths pass
-1 year pass

The prices for monthly passes and above should be below 30 euros, in order to compete with other ISPs in the area.

I am also trying to find the formation on anntenas on your site, but all links send me to the shop where I can buy only the router and not any antennas. Some information on the different antenas that work with your routers woild be very helpfull. In the vicinity of where I live there is a square with more than 20 Cafees, pubs, restaurants etc. which I would like to reach.
