Free.fr Is Freer via Wi-Fi

Iliad, the company behind France's cheap broadband, cheap IPTV, and cheap voice now adds free Wi-Fi. The new set-top box from the company, called Freebox, has FoN like wireless network sharing features built into it, and thus every one of its 300,000 boxes can become part of a big wifi mesh. They are using Wi-Fi with MIMO technology in their boxes. Basically if you have a wifi phone (or a laptop) you can hop on to one of these networks and stay connected.
