Are you a Linus, Alien or a Bill?
Want to turn your home router into a money maker?
If you have a Comcast internet connection you can become a “Foneros”. A What? Comcast struck a deal with the Spanish company Fon, which provides Foneros with a custom wireless router that can be used to “share” your internet connection. Depending upon how you feel about sharing, you can be one of the following Fon classifications:
 |
Linus - Share your internet connection openly and you can jump onto the Fon wireless network for free whereever you find a connection or hotspot. |
 |
Alien – You don’t share your access and have to pay $2 or $3 dollars anywhere a Fon connection or hotspot is available. |
 |
Bill – You open up your wireless connection to anyone that wants to pay a.k.a. “Aliens”, and split the revenue with Fon. |
Sounds familiar -- I am old enough to remember when the airports used to have different payphones for different phone calling cards ... Welcome back to the future. Read more.
