As an affiliate of FON networks, I often get emails notifying me of their latest coupons and such. I remember not too long ago that they were selling a router for $5 as long as you maintained your open router for a set amount of time. This current deal isn’t quite that good, but it’s still not bad.

So, it’s not great, but it’s better than nothing. If you’re unfamiliar with FON, it’s a pretty cool concept. Basically, as a member (free) you get access to all other members open hotspots. Or, you can open your hotspot up to FON members and charge non FON members a fee for access. They set the fee and I can’t remember what it is, but it’s somewhat paltry. $1 a day or something like that. If you don’t do a lot of traveling, that’s probably the option for you though. If you do travel a bit, however, you might like the free access everywhere option as well!
