Fon status update

I've just read back my previous posts. I'm kind of surprised how enthusiastic I was about Fon about a year ago.

I've just made a screenshot about the current coverage in Budapest. You can see the development since my last post about it.

FON free router giveaway

FON gives away free social routers for new members invited by existing Foneros. I was happy to invite one of my friends.

FON connectivity solved

I had trouble connection to my Fon social router using my notebook. Since this is my only wifi device and I can connect it to any other APs, I thought there was a problem with the router. In fact, it's the router that does not support the power saving feature of the Intel 3495ABG wifi chipset built into my notebook. Workaround can be found here and the latest Intel drivers here.

Fon is spreading in Budapest

Fon, the free Wifi community is spreading in my City. I've attached a map of downtown Budapest. The green spots are the free hotspots currently accessible by the Foneros. I'll update the map regularly so we can see the speed of the growing.

(Too bad that the Hungarian characters are not displayed correctly on the map. For example, in the text box you should see SZÉNA TÉR.)
