BBC reports that a Spanish telecom is selling wireless routers for cheap in order to encourage people to cover the country with wireless hotspots.
A Spanish firm is to sell subsidised routers as part of a plan to turn domestic wi-fi networks into public hotspots.
Fon will sell wi-fi routers, which allow people to surf the net wirelessly, for $5 (£2.75).
The company is hoping to create a “social movement” as well as a business.

In exchange for receiving a router, users must agree to share their wireless connections with other Fon users for 12 months, the company said.
