Mariano Amartino’s Experience

Country Manager
FON
(Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Wireless industry)
December 2005 — Present (2 years 11 months)
I currently run the operations in Argentina... FON aims to provide free or cheap WiFi access to consumers worldwide. WiFi hotspots are ubiquitous in our cities today, yet access is either private (i.e., consumers lock down their hotspot to prevent others freeriding) or expensive (e.g. commercial hotspots charging $6/h). Launched in November 2005, FON is already the largest WiFi community in the world with 41,000 members (June 2006). FON takes the P2P model into a new domain and provides members with a high-speed, free broadband experience when away from home, whether on a PC or other mobile device (e.g. PDA, cell phone, game station). There is a lot of momentum behind FON - Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures, Google and Skype invested $22m.
