In a world where internet is everywhere....
It's 'bout time someone thought of this. Wireless internet via wi-fi all over the world. This means that as you drive down your local street you can stream internet radio, or let your kids watch youtube in the back, or even their favorite movie or tv show. Or you can be lost nd able to access directions instantly to your next location. The world would become networked.
That is what Martin Varsavsky is trying to do with his FON idea. It is essentially a huge network of wi-fi hotspots all around the world. The catch is that everyone needs to be using the FON network for it to work. This way it would be like a video game made for playstation only. Someone with an xbox can't play.
This idea is fantastic, but I think that if it was more around the universal remot idea it would be better. This way more companies would be able to participate in the sales of routers and other hardware.
This has been being used in almost every location of starbuck and duckin dougnuts is now the home to wi-fi hotspot. Anyone cn come in and use these spots to access email, read the news, or do anything they would normally do in public and on the internet.
A group of people actually had a laugh at the idea of wi-fi because not everyone has a laptop. These people are called improv artists. Here is a clip......(i found it!! www.improveverywhere.com)
Anyways, I hope this happens, because I don't have enough for the Sprint package.
Peace out.

Why won't FON succeed? What is the weak part of this business plan? It relies on people to volunteer their connections to make this network possible. Is that realistic?
