Mar 07, 2006 -- Free Wi-Fi around the country

How would you like to travel anywhere in the world and connect to high speed Internet for free? It’s going to be possible because of a partnership between Google (of the United States), Skype (of Astonia) and Fon (of Spain). It’s basically a co-op whereby everyone shares connections with each other. Right now, many people have wireless Internet in their homes and they work around the house wirelessly. This venture allows other people to participate in the wireless signal without having access to your info. You just sign in wherever you are around the world and connect. It’s not everywhere, but it’s spreading fast. So, what’s it called? Well, it is named after the guy who invented the Linux network. His name is “Linus.” A second network is also available for people who want to sell their access when they travel. It’s named after Bill Gates and is called, what else, “Bill.” Linus members are signing up at a quicker rate than Bill members. But to learn more about either, go to fon.com.
