Free FON; Act Soon!

February 6, 2007

Interested in a free wireless router (note: no built-in wired LAN port)? Don't mind sharing your network bandwidth in a (claimed) secure manner, wherein your private LAN and the public FONspot created by the La Fonera router are isolated from each other? Perhaps more importantly, does your ISP not mind you sharing your network bandwidth? If the answers to all three of these questions are yes, then get thee quickly to FON's website, before the company's in-progress 'free 10,000 router' promotion ends. I've got one of these gizmos in-hand, which I plan to subject to Prying Eyes analysis soon (rumour has it they're designed by Cisco/Linksys). More from Boing Boing and Gizmodo.
