My plan, personally, is to provision a FON hotspot for the use of my friends and neighbours when they're at my place. I keep my wireless network secured tightly. FON says their software can separate my secure network from unsecured WiFi bandwidth. That will solve te problem. I'm not sure if that violates the TOS I have with my provider, nor do I particularly care. I don't see them coming after me over casual use.

FON itself probably doesn't have much to lose if this should happen so its a good business model from their perspective. But not necessarily for their customers. Perhaps the contract terms are different in Spain or Europe where FON originated.
