Do you know "FON"?One of the public wireless LAN services, users who open wireless LAN access points can be used for free access points for other users.In Japan, the service started in December 2006 and was in the spotlight for a while, but it was difficult to use it because the access points did not increase much.
However, the number of members has increased since the launch of new models in 2009.Softbank Mobile has also increased its attention by adopting it as a wireless LAN router distributed to iPhone users.So, this time, let's introduce techniques that use FON to make mobile networks cheaply and conveniently.

FON connects a dedicated wireless LAN router to the internet line at home, and has a mechanism to publish access points for wireless LAN connection to other users.If you are a FON user, you can use the access point for other FON users simply by entering the account information.In other words, the more users they participate, the more they can use Internet connections with wireless LANs in a wider area.In addition to individual users, it has been introduced to cafes and restaurants, and the usage area is expanding.
In October 2009, the number of domestic users was about 157,000 and the access point was about 73,000.When I checked the area around Gotanda Station on the web page for searching for FON's access point, I found it filled.If you actually walk with a wireless LAN device, you can detect access points frequently, although the radio waves are weak.
