One thing I wish I could control is that no matter what you chose to be -- Linus or Bill -- Aliens and Bills still have to pay $2/day to use the hotspot. I mean, if offering a free hotspot with clickwrap protection was as easy as Fon makes their setup, I'd probably do that instead. @Justin:

Unfortunately, I live in the middle of nowhere, so my hotspot gets absolutely no use. But it's here when needed. Oh, and I'm a Linus. Yep…I’ve been a Fonero for…well, a long time.

Oh, and I’m a Linus.

After reading this post, I tried again and it seems to be working now. In the past, they had encouraged regular users to be either a Linus (share your wifi and get free wifi) or a Bill (share your wifi and get cash), but it looks like these days they just want businesses to be Bills.
