FON, a WiFi community that allow community members access to the internet via WiFi access from anywhere in the world, is expected to officially launch in Hong Kong. The exact date and other details are not known at the moment, but I’ve heard it’ll be some time in early October. I’ll update as I have more information.

I haven’t looked too much into this service yet, but given my understanding of the service, this service could be successful in Hong Kong, given the dense population and the number of mobile devices that everyone has here. In general, the costs is definitely cheaper than what you pay for when you use WiFi services at local coffee shops. You can find out more information on how it works on their website.
