Of course, being from Argentina he is a Spanish speaker first and foremost. At least it shows me that people do actually read carefully if i get corrected on something like this! thanks. kenjimori- thanks for your comments, glad you liked the post. you make a good point when you say that it was notable that the news was released on a blog first- in this way, we can see that influential people can now expect the news to come to them, rather than the other way ’round. i’m personally going to wait and see too with FON, also planning a blog entry about internet ‘gold rushes’ and their dangers. by the way i really like your web site. :)

What do you mean? He lived in Argentina until he was 16, more or less, and he lives in Spain since some years ago. His whole family is from Argentina. He speaks Spanish as well as you can do!! It's true that he speaks English, too, but his primary language is Spanish. And you can read his blog in Spanish: http://www.martinvarsavsky.com “plus someone who like the owner of FON is an english speaker in Spain “.

Thank you for your interesting analysis using Skype/telephone and iTUNES/music analogies. Yes, to me too, "profit-sharing" seems to be the way to go. Also worth noting that the news released by the founder himself in his blog first, not through traditional media such as WSJ. That is totally not the way it is supposed to work particularly for the old media folks; at the same time, it might be the way it is to work for the new. BTW, I am not paid by FON at all, either. Just interested in knowing how it will evolve:) Hello,
