From Wikipedia

Fon Wireless Ltd. was a for-profit company incorporated and registered in the United Kingdom that provided wireless services. Fon was founded in Madrid, Spain, in 2006, by Martín Varsavsky. Later, the company was headquartered in Bilbao. Fon started out by building its Wi-Fi network through devices called "foneras". Members, whom the company called "Foneros", agreed to share a part of their bandwidth as a Wi-Fi signal, so that they could connect to other members' hotspots. As the company evolved, it shifted its focus to working with mobile operators and telecommunication providers, and expanded from deploying residential Wi-Fi to providing access and technology to carriers and service providers. Fon claims to operate a network of over 20 million WiFi hotspots. In April 2021, Fon was acquired by Agile Content, a provider of over-the-top media services from Barcelona.
