Whisher vs. FON
Filed in archive Wi-Fi by jeff goldman on January 30, 2007
Wi-Fi Planet's Eric Griffith today looks at Whisher, a startup launching at DEMO 07 that's targeting the exact same market as FON and its legions of Foneros:
"This is a way to create a Wi-Fi community without purchasing hardware or reconfiguring what you have," says Whisher co-founder and CEO Ferran Moreno, in a clear swipe at the competition from FON, which similarly wants to build a Wi-Fi community. FON requires special hardware or reconfigured hardware, usually routers with new firmware, though the company is preparing to release software to turn a Mac into a "FONspot." Whisher says it can already do that with downloads running on Windows, Macintosh
and Linux computers.
