Ben Scent.. before you write something, read up and do some research carefully.. The 5,000 access point will not make the entire Singapore a hotspot.. only public places will be covered

Raindeer, can you please compare and contrast eduroam and FON from the point of view of service objective. I wwould think FON is preferable because one can "roam" globally.

What I wonder is why they don't make use of 802.1X technology like the people from Eduroam (www.eduroam.nl). This technology allows you to share your wireless access point with others in a manner that can be controlled. People need to authorize and basically get access to a separate VLAN through your home wifi-access point. This way they might reach even higher densities without too much trouble.

Same goes ofcourse for the entire world. Think of Customer premises equipment with this build in standard. Every new customer becomes a basestation. You can encourage people to use this by allowing them to make free (or small fee) use if they share their basestation with others.
