Tengo el gusto de anunciar que BT FON<\/a>, la comunidad WiFi que hemos creado junto a nuestros socios de BT<\/a>, ha superado los 100.000 miembros en el Reino Unido<\/a> y la gran mayor\u00eda ya tiene Fon<\/a> instalado en los routers que les puso BT cuando activaron su servicio de banda ancha. Este gran crecimiento en pocos meses demuestra lo bueno que puede ser Fon para una teleco que compite ferozmente en el mercado de la banda ancha. Inclusive una \u00abex Telef\u00f3nica\u00bb. Para BT es un gran gancho poder decir que viene con Fon pre instalado y que sus clientes contratan banda ancha en su casa y lo tienen por todo el Reino Unido y el mundo y los de su competencia no. Ultimamente, Fon est\u00e1 creciendo especialmente r\u00e1pido en los pa\u00edses que tiene acuerdo con los operadores como el Reino Unido, Francia con Neuf<\/a> o el m\u00e1s reciente firmado con Comstar<\/a> en Rusia y a\u00fan no implementado. Y tenemos unos 4 grandes acuerdos m\u00e1s en negociaci\u00f3n ahora mismo.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, otro tema importante del anuncio que hicimos conjuntamente con BT esta ma\u00f1ana es que vamos a lanzar una Fonera especial para el Reino Unido –que en Fon llamamos la BTFonera– pero que se llamar\u00e1 directamente la Fonera para que tambi\u00e9n puedan ser foneros los clientes de los competidores de BT. El atractivo de esta fonera ser\u00e1 especialmente alto en el Reino Unido porque el que se compre la Fonera podr\u00e1 conectarse a m\u00e1s de 100.000 puntos en su pa\u00eds, adem\u00e1s del resto de los puntos fon por el planeta.<\/p>\n

Esperamos que con tantas pruebas de que Fon acelera la venta de la banda ancha y reduce la p\u00e9rdida de clientes que dejan su servicio conectado aunque viajan muchos tendremos un acuerdo finalmente con un operador espa\u00f1ol y de otros pa\u00edses que hablen espa\u00f1ol (jop\u00e9, dije espa\u00f1ol y no castellano, a ver si me machacan los comentaristas del post anterior).<\/p>\n

A continuaci\u00f3n comparto con vosotros el comunicado de prensa de BT (en ingl\u00e9s)<\/p>\n


\nBT today announced that it has attracted over 100,000 members in the UK to BT FON, the world\u2019s largest Wi-Fi community, where members share their broadband connection to establish a network of wireless hotspots. BT has also been recognised for its success with the BT FON community project, launched with its partner Fon, by being named the most Innovative Wireless Broadband Company by the 2008 Wireless Broadband Innovation Awards.<\/p>\n

Since the launch of BT FON in October last year, 100,000 BT Total Broadband customers have come together to join the BT FON community, creating thousands of new Wi-Fi hotspots up and down the country.<\/p>\n

In addition to the BT FON network in the UK, BT Total Broadband customers that join the BT FON community can access 3,000 BT Openzone hotspots at locations such as hotels, airports and railway stations, BT\u2019s 13 UK wireless cities, and Fon\u2019s global network of 190,000 hotspots. This provides BT Total Broadband customers with unrivalled Wi-Fi coverage across the UK and the rest of the world, allowing even more customers to experience the benefits of broadband both at home and when out and about.<\/p>\n

Every BT customer that joins the BT FON community agrees to share a small portion of their home broadband connection, by opening up a separate, secure channel on their wireless router \u2013 the BT Home Hub. They are then able to use, free of charge, the BT FON hotspots of other members, BT Openzone hotspots, BT\u2019s UK wireless cities, and Fon hotspots around the world.<\/p>\n

Jon Hurry, Director Internet Services, Consumer, said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to see BT Total Broadband customers joining forces to set up a people\u2019s Wi-Fi network across the UK. BT has been instrumental in creating Broadband Britain, and we have built on that by calling upon entire communities to come together to create a Wi-Fi network that covers the country, driven entirely by local broadband users.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve already built extensive Wi-Fi coverage across the UK with BT Openzone and 13 Wireless Cities, but with more people signing up to BT FON everyday, Wi-Fi coverage in the UK is set to get better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers that sign up to BT Total Broadband Anywhere automatically join the BT FON community. Broadband Anywhere is the new all-inclusive broadband package from BT which offers customers a free, internet enabled Smartphone \u2013 the BT ToGo \u2013 for just \u00a35 more per month than the price of BT Total Broadband Option 3. Today\u2019s announcement means that Broadband Anywhere customers can enjoy unlimited access at even more wireless hotspots around the UK, allowing them to surf the web, email, make calls and text, both at home and out and about.<\/p>\n

BT Total Broadband customers that are interested in joining the BT FON community can visit www.bt.com\/btfon<\/a> for more information about how to sign up. Customers can also visit the website to obtain a view of their local BT FON network. By simply entering a postcode, they can find the nearest BT FON or BT Openzone hotspots near to their home and to other places of interest. To encourage other people in their area to join the BT FON community and give their local Wi-Fi network an extra boost, promotional materials such as posters are also available to members to download from the website.<\/p>\n

Customers who want to connect to broadband via BT FON while abroad can also visit the website to find Fon hotspots in other countries around the world.<\/p>\n

From the summer, non-BT Total Broadband customers in the UK will also be able to join the BT FON community by purchasing FON\u2019s Wi-Fi router, La Fonera.<\/p>\n
