This is another revolution. From now on, we´ll all be able to google on our mobile phone everything we do, everybody we meet, every place we go.
Google Mobile Search will for sure change many things in our everyday life.
You meet a celebrity in the street but can´t remember his/her name? Google it!
You´re in a taxi, and you can´t remember the address of this night club you´re supposed to meet your friends? Google it!
You´re at lunch with clients of yours. You really want to impress them but, damn it!, you want to make sure that you´re not going to tell nonsense about their competitors. A mock-stay at the bathroom to Google it – and there you go!
I just hope it works…Well, not Google Mobile, but the Internet (I had tried GPRS access on my mobile, but it was too slow for everyday navigation)…
FON has been building a telecom infrastructure network without actualling investing in the actual infrastructure! History provides us with countless examples of Capex (capital expenditures) being the cornerstone of telco infrastructure companies (e.g. Google and its secret fiber optics network project).
However, the business model of FON makes such a move possible: people subscribing to FON (FONeros) share their own wireless connection with the FONeros surfing next to their home. And conversely, when travelling in or out of town you are able to connect to other FONeros´ wireless networks.
And to make sure it is just the beginning wireless democratization, FON just launched a special offer: you´ll get a router for 5$ alonside your first one-year subscription within the FON community.
What about the future then? Will we all become FONeros aswell as we´d be bound to feed our personal blog one day? Have we entered a new era, “the wireless networking era”? CISCO, already a networking company, has been the fastest growing company ever; will it be overtaken by FON?
