Fon are a Spanish company that organise wireless access throughout the world. The idea is that everyone that is signed up to the network shares some of their bandwidth with other Fon users. As you travel you can use free wireless hot spots from other members in the community.
The hardware aspect of this is a wireless router that you plug into your broadband connection to allow other Fon users, and only other Fon users, to connect and user your broadband connection.
As part of their celebrations for being one year old Fon are currently giving away 2,500 of these routers free. I've signed up.
This is a great way of widening wireless access without it costing loads. And a convenient way of me sitting in a coffe shop kidding on I'm working without it costing me £30 a month for wireless access.
