FONeros are registered users of the FON Community. They are either Linuses or Bills. Each FONero’s WiFi router becomes a FON access point, and each one of these access points makes up the FON Community. Everyone else who wishes to access the FON Community and who is not a FONero is an Alien. Linuses have broadband connections with a FON Social Router at home. Linuses roam all other WiFi Access Points within the FON Community for free. Instead of roaming, Bills are like FON’s travel agents. They receive 50% of the net revenues from those who purchase FON Passes through the Bill’s FON Access Point. Bills also join FON because they like to advertise their products and services in their neighborhoods. FON gives them all the tools to personalize their Access Point and sign-in page. Aliens using laptop computers or similar devices are permitted to access any FON Access Point by purchasing daily FON passes. The standard rate for these FON passes is currently €/$ 3 for a 24 hour connection period. FON passes are similar to pre-paid cards. Aliens pre-purchase these FON passes and then use them to connect to the Internet freely.

So, you can get wireless for free as long as you're willing to provide access or pay $3 per 24 hours of usage. Conversely, you can also get paid to provide access, but you will no longer have free access.

I'll probably choose the option to get paid for providing access, since I can usually find free wireless in hotels.

Nice. WRT54G for $5, but remember you have to participate to uphold the TOS.
