FON is Free Lunch?

Phoneboy talks about his experience with FON. He tells us that not very many people will be looking for his FON, but he thinks that this is an inexpensive way to obtain free Wi-Fi access at other places. As if being caught by what he just said, he adds, “I'll have to see if I "make my money back" so to speak. Fat chance, methinks, but hey, it was only $13 and I can always reflash the unit back to a stock Linksys WRT54GS when FON goes bankrupt.” Ouch.

A long-winded way of questioning the business model of FON. But as I said, $13 is cheap for a WRT54GS that I can reflash with proper firmware if the whole thing goes belly-up.
