There's several problems with Fon's (the Wi-Fi "revolutionaries") business model, including the fact that users are buying their routers then flashing the firmware, but also the fact that reselling residential bandwidth is against most ISP's terms of service.

The report notes that Fon has grabbed more funding from Excite Japan.
