    Big bet on what it seems to be a money burning machine. We'll see how it all turns out.

    "FON says it has a total of 320,000 members and more than 120,000 WiFi hot spots that those members can access."

    They must be kidding! I haven't found more than 2 hotspots during the last 6 months and believe me I travel quite a lot, both in Europe and US.
    I might be wrong, but it seems to me those figures are a bit inflated...

    120K registered routers. But once you have one up you find no one else does, so why bother maintaining it?
