The new WiFi

The first step in understanding what it means to be a fonero is to forget what you already know about Wi-Fi. This is not about laptops and cafes. This is about communication and access everywhere for nearly everything. Its about PSP's, digital cameras and magic lamps that are Wi-Fi enabled. Its about connecting neighborhoods to community LANs. It is about community! Foneros want Wi-Fi to be as ubiquitous as radio.

In NYC we have the FON Lab, it might eventually move to San Francisco. But in the FON Lab not only do we flash routers but we are testing the next generation of Wi-Fi routers and devices. The place is a horrible mess and we panic when we have visitors, but doesn't innovation start with chaos? ;-)

We love our foneros. Yes, we can be slow in responding to email. Yes, we have been slow in shipping routers. But we are always thinking of you and are working hard to keep you happy. Are you a fonero? Show us your colors and email me pictures! I want to know who you crazy people are! ejovi [ at ] fon . com
