Get a router, share WiFi, anger your ISP: all for free!

Perhaps you've heard of this elsewhere already: Fon, that crazy Spanish company that's trying to create a free, worldwide WiFi network, is celebrating its one year anniversary by handing out free routers. Here's how it works: they send you the router, you hook it up and sign up for Fon service and then you're good to go. Your Fon router will share your Internet connection with other Fon users and you, in turn, will be able to access over 70,000 worldwide Fon access points wherever you travel, free of charge. Fon's vision is that once enough people sign up for the service, entire urban areas will be blanketed with free WiFi. There's only one slight problem: sharing your Internet connection outside of the four walls that you inhabit is probably a violation of your end-user agreement with your ISP. Still, if you're the type who isn't easily put off by that sort of thing, head on over to Fon's website where, for a limited time, you can snag one of the comically named "Fonera" routers for a cool zilch. DailyTechRag has ordered one of our own and we'll let you know what we think as soon as it arrives. Viva la revolution!
