Features Continued:
The FON device can be set up to charge users for access. The rate
is unknown to us at this time, but with the FON partnered with Pay Pal ® maintaining
the account set it and forget it operation. Though you do have the ability to
log into the FON.com site and check on the last 20 FON passes you sold.
Another major feature is the FON appliance is the dual access channels, one
the public/charge and a private SSID which is encrypted and give you the ability
to share files on your own home network. Also you have the ability to throttle
the bandwidth your sharing/selling which is nice when it comes time for you
to surf the web at speeds your use to.
Conclusion:
There are many more features and options that we didn’t dive into due
to the length of this review being too long and eventually dated, so we highly
recommends checking out FON.com for any more information
if this is something your interested in. The other draw back is the fact most
cities today are moving toward free WiFi within the city limits and also the
local coffee houses provide free wireless, so unless you have a tourist trap
like location, it may be a little difficult to sell your daily FON passes. Though
on positive side with a registered account and researching where you may be
physically located tomorrow, you can scope out where your next FON access point
is located.
