When I was heading to Le Web in December I checked the FONero locations near my hotel (I assumed the cheap hotel wouldn't have internet access but it did). There seemed to be five or six in reasonably close proximity but I wasn't able to pick up any signal when I got there. Have you guys done any estimates of the density required for full coverage in (for example) a small town? We now have two in Bandon so I think we've a ways to go yet. I must encourage some of the local coffee shops like Urru and Broly's and Prego to sign-up - that would cover a good chunk of the main shopping area. The “strategically placed” bit is important.
