Fon is the company who controls the wifi access in our residence. Fon is something more than just another wifi provider around the world.

The thing that makes Fon unique is that you can connect for free if you agree to become a Fon member . Unlike the others wireless Internet providers the fon network is built by users.

You can buy a wireless device named La Fonera from Fon online store , and once connected this device to your ADSL router at home , you are ready to share part of your connection to others Fon members that could be in the neighbour of radio signal.

In return when you will be abroad , whenever you’ll find a Fon spot , you’ll have the benefit of free surfing the Internet.

But there’s more. When you sign up to Fon you have the option to be Linus or Bill. If you choose to be Linus , you will become a non profit member of the community with free roaming throughout the entire network.

If you want to become Bill you can get some money from people who connects to your hotspot. For every daily pass sold at the fee of 3,00 Euros you get roughly one third of the income , the rest belongs to Fon.

If you don’t want to join the wifi sharing community and you just want to connect to the Internet through a Fon spot , you can simply buy a one day pass at 3,00 Euros or a five day pass at 10 euros.

If you plan to stay at our residence Montefiore, and want to have wireless Internet , I suggest to register to Fon before coming here.

Whether you decide to be Linus , Bill or Alien , your social wireless network is waiting for you at Montefiore Residence and in other 200.000 hot spots spread all over the world.
