I really like your understanding Hanz, I believe in Holland there is something really deep and known about what matters.

We really do not need CEO bussiness expertise on that, we all know sturbucks is a big money maker and as per so, it integrates wifi connexion at their shops.
The main idea is to build this net, cost-free and free access, thanks to the support of volunteers that show how things can be big and done just with the effort (time, in work market) plus habilities and tech.

Tech is available in almost every home in every “developed” country (the whole word has got many blogs and discussions), people can find enough “free cost time” to work on this, as the whole FON thingy proves.

People are interested on developing ideas like that, and yes, it goes clearly against the economy rules and all the CEO’s thoughts of masters making profit… IT IS NOT A PROFIT THINGY MATES. THIS IS A GOODWILL THINGY, or how does companies REALLY measure goodwill in their organisations?

The question is, when will people be able to put their own goodwill not to serve an organisation, but to serve an idea, a great idea as i.e. FON?

I can say my life aim would be seeing that happening in my life time, rather than having as the most remarcable date in my life 11S. I take that as a signal of something begging for review.

Thanks for your time,

Greetings from Holland,
Hanz

An honest appraisal of the ridiculous SCAM that is called FON.

Sadly there are people who actually believe that FON is somehow the new Utopian movement – well there is one born every minute.

My buddy and I were Skyping (another disaster on the way, but free for now) and we noticed this FON thing – quickly examined the site etc. and then looked a little deeper, and we can easily see the financial scam going on here. (Yes, we are ex-internet CEO’s who didnt get quite enough cash from the Venture Capital guys…but thats another story!)

FON is the classic bag game – you invest tons of cash in a useless but hyped venture, the ‘losses’ are written off, the money goes into a bank account and out the other side. Its a great way to get CASH out of Ebay, Skype etc……

I want to state clearly that this really happens – yes, big biz types actually love to steal cash.

Of course, the practical application of ‘FON’ is INSANE – re-selling a wireless network down a dark and dirty street in some ugly suburb of some little town – so you settle down on a garden wall with your $2000 laptop to get ‘free’ wireless and it starts to rain and then the local kids come along and steal your laptop. Great.

Worse still, the guy whose router you are on is downloading child pornography and you get arrested. cool.

Monetize that scenario, ‘FON’ executives!

Alternative: go to Starbucks or other cafe, pay for a nice coffee and some wireless, relax in comfort and forget bad incident with ‘FON”.

Si tu fonera va bien, pues ole! Y si la quieres compartir ademas con Whisher, pues tambien puedes, nadie te dice que tengas que dejar de ser de Fon para utilizar Whisher. Si insistes en pensar asi, es que no has entendido nada.

Saludos,
