Is there a FON WiFi link in the wild?

This may sound like a silly quesiton, but every now and then I get an email from FON because since moving I haven’t reconnected their WiFi access router.

It begs a question, though. Has anyone ever seen a Fonera connection in the wild? I haven’t, and expect I’ll just toss this thing in the dumpster when we move later this week. I know I could reflash it and make it useful, but it’s hardly even worth the bother.

Earlier today I saw someone mention how available FON hotspots are, but I’ve never seen one in any part of the country I’ve visited. Ever. The only one I have ever noted was my own.

So what’s the point>

    I hear you … I did not even see one in Barcelona where I figured they’d be everywhere.

    There is one here in South Burlington if you ever come back to Vermont to visit, mine. But I agree they are few and far between.
