Fon, a free "crowdsourced" WiFi network that is created out of people sharing a portion of their private WiFi connections, is today announcing another $14 million in funding led by Qualcomm Ventures as it gears up to tackle new areas like the U.S. and business users. It will also be teaming up with Facebook around a new "social" router called Fonera, which will let people share their WiFi hotspots with Facebook friends and no further authentication -- a product that Facebook and Fon plan also to offer to physical stores, which will give users free WiFi when they "like" or check-in to a location.
