City of Blanquefort buys 1000 La Foneras December 1, 2006

The City of Blanquefort in the west of France has bought 1000 La Fonera routers. They will be distributed for free (as a Christmas present if you will) amoungst DSL subscribers in town who are willing to share their bandwidth with others. The City Hall will even help setting the router up. Blanquefort, that calls itself "Ville Internet", is pretty advanced with regards to internet technology. They have blogs, vlogs and podcasts available about different topics such as the renovation of the town hall, for example. With only 15.000 inhabitants, the city will have almost 7% foneros just from this initiative.
