Hi all,
I've recently signed up with Fon - the community wifi people. They provide
access points which you plug into your own internet connection and share it
out. Once done you are able to use other peoples Fon access points when
you're away from home.
I've got a bunch of invites which

for free, followed
by a Fonera last year, an antenna, and three more Foneras for free this

Good question.
None if nobody uses it :)
More seriously, there is a sliding scale, you can tell it how much of your
bandwidth you want to give the FON.
I have given it 25% of mine.
