Fonera pricing
Fon started selling wireless routers for $5 / 5€, with an own firmware. First they shipped Linksys WRT54’s, later they changed to some Buffalo’s and finally they created the La Fonera.
This is a small wireless router, based on an Atheros SoC which supports multi-ssid broadcast, thus you will have a public and a private network. The device is small and cute. It ha been sold for the same price ($5 / 5€) as the others.
Everyone can order only one Fonera with that discount price, every other order will take $50/50€. At least this is what they stated.
It has been said that the 10% price will be abandoned this week, but then a new promotion price appeared: $29.95 / 29.95 €.
I wonder if they will get back to the $5 price. Anyway, the $30 isn’t that much either.
A different note: Fon is backed by Skype and Google. Skype is owned by eBay, just as Paypal is. And the Fon order site uses Paypal. Google minus.
