Check your firewalls and net security so you’re not exposing sensitive data, but after that there might be some novelty, fun, or publicity value in creating your own Wi Fi Hotspot.
It ought to at least be good for your own local press release!
There is also a back end profit center that allows you to resell the service.
Read how you can get your own router to do this…
FON, a Spanish start-up on an ambitious crusade to turn home Wi-Fi connections into wireless “hotspots” for nearby users, is set to unveil on Monday a plan to hand out 1 million wireless routers for just $5 apiece.
FON, which aims to create a network of home users and small businesses to resell wireless access to passersby, said on Sunday it will subsidize $60 Cisco Linksys or Buffalo routers for $5 in the United States or 5 euros in Europe.
Routers are small boxes users connect to cable or telephone Internet connections to broadcast wireless signals to nearby devices, inside a home, business or surrounding neighborhood.
