You can buy Windows 10 Wi-Fi hotspot direct from Fon
If you have a Windows 10 device, such as the Surface Book or Surface Studio (okay, a little less mobile), you now have one-click access to buying some Wi-Fi hotspot time from Fon.
You can hop into the Windows Store and purchase a Fon WiFi pass. Once you log all of the required credentials, you can make future pass grabs by clicking on a Fon hotspot in the network navigation menu. From there, you’ll be moved to the Windows Store and the Paid WiFi & Mobile app to make the purchase.

Fon, which has typically been found in residence commons, has also expanded its offerings to public locations like airports, parks and hotel chains in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.

Sure, some places you’ll pay more, and some less, or some will lure you with promises of deep buckets of data. But beyond a few shifting variables, after enough time they all start looking pretty similar. At least, that may be the case with the big carriers, but once we move into MVNO space, with other companies paying for the rights to access those large, established networks, the options start getting a lot more interesting. Google’s Project ...
