Another business model
seems to be making its way into the news. The idea is that users will share
their bandwidth through their personal wireless routers, which are supplied with
specific software. An example is FON, a Spanish start-up created in
November 2005. It aims to become the largest network of hotspots in the world by
the end of 2006 with 30 000 access points. The users are divided into three
categories: linus share Internet access for free; bills sell their personal bandwidth;
and aliens buy access from bills. Thus the system can be described as a
peer-to-peer sharing service, which we usually relate to
software.
