Malaga becoming first Fonero City!

Malaga Spain is becoming the world's first Fonero city! (we already have Fonero towns but not a city of over half a million people). City Hall is already a FONspot and the city of Malaga is putting up FON Routers and Fontennas in all of its public buildings. FON will donate over 2000 La Foneras to Malaga's citizens who will place them in their windows. Malaga is a popular destination, its airport has 13 million passengers per year. These visitors will get free WiFi if they are Foneros anywhere in the planet or can pay 3 euros per day if they are not. FON's model was chosen over the Muni WiFi model that the city first considered because our model involves citizen participation, is extremely inexpensive for cities, and has the collaboration of ISPs and telcos who sell more broadband connections. Thank you, Malaga!
