El acuerdo con TWC permitir\u00e1 a sus 6.6 millones de usuarios de Internet convertirse en foneros. Ellos compartir\u00e1n el excedente de ancho de banda en sus casas u oficinas y tendr\u00e1n derecho a hacer roaming en todo el mundo. <\/p>\n

Aprovecho para agradecer a Joanna Rees, l\u00edder fonera en USA, por el estupendo trabajo que ha realizado para sellar esta alianza.

\nTime Warner Cable Partners With FON for WiFi Network
\nPartnership Enables Free WiFi Access Away from Home for Time Warner Cable Subscribers <\/p>\n

MADRID, Spain \u2014 April 23, 2007 \u2014 FON today announced a partnership with Time Warner Cable which allows Time Warner Cable broadband subscribers to access the world\u2019s largest and fastest-growing WiFi network. The partnership specifically allows Time Warner Cable subscribers to become FON community members and create FON access points via their home or business broadband connection. Furthermore, the same subscribers would enjoy free WiFi access around the world, wherever FON has partner ISPs. <\/p>\n

With nearly 60,000 FON community members in the U.S. alone, FON is the largest WiFi network in the United States. Hotspot providers are FON community members (called Foneros) who share their unused bandwidth via a FON router in exchange for free WiFi access when roaming through any other FON access point. Through this partnership, Time Warner Cable subscribers will have the opportunity to be members of the FON community and enjoy free unlimited WiFi access at any of FON\u2019s partner ISP WiFi hotspots. <\/p>\n

Time Warner Cable is an American cable television company that currently operates in 33 states, with 13.4 million basic cable subscribers and 6.6 million residential high-speed data subscribers. By partnering with FON, Time Warner Cable subscribers will benefit from being able to use next generation WiFi devices such as WiFi phones, game consoles and MP3 players, both inside and outside the home. <\/p>\n

La Fonera router is secure out-of-the-box and offers two distinct WiFi channels. One channel is for the exclusive use of its owner; the second channel is shared with other Foneros. The La Fonera increases security through an encrypted private network and Foneros decide how much bandwidth to share. Public users cannot access the private network and there is no anonymous usage. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to welcome Time Warner Cable subscribers to the global FON community,\u201d said Joanna Rees, CEO of FON U.S. \u201cSuccess for FON depends on extending Internet access to our user bases outside the home or office without requiring individuals to rely on costly and problematic remote access solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
