FON ( http://www.fon.com/),
a Spanish startup that is building an international WiFi community, is
selling and organizing WiFi access to anyone who wishes to join and
connect to the Internet. According to their website:

    It all started as a simple idea: enjoy WiFi technology everywhere
    across a WiFi infrastructure built by same members of the FON
    Community. Joining us is just as easy. All you need is to register for
    free, have broadband connection and to download our software onto your
    router. This converts your router into a FON Social Router. If you do
    not have a router that is compatible with FON's software, you can
    purchase one of our subsidized FON Social Routers at our online store.



FON launched early this year and has been successful
in raising almost $22 million from companies like eBay (includes Skype)
and Google.
