Google, eBay unit back plan to charge for WiFi access - The Boston Globe: "FON's idea, floated just three months ago in a Web posting by founder Martin Varsavsky, is to sign up people who have WiFi hot spots in one of two ways.
Linus members -- named after Linus Torvalds, who created the freely distributed Linux software -- will share their hot spot with other Linus members for free.
Bill members, named after Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates, will charge for access to their hot spot. FON will get some of that revenue and share it with Internet service providers."
