[GLLUG] Fwd: FreedomPop Contact Inquiry

[Chick Tower]

I discovered FreedomPop in an article about another free service, if I 
recall correctly, called Fonera.  (Or maybe vice-versa.)  Fonera 
requires you to have a broadband connection already.  FreedomPop 
provides a wireless broadband connection, so I wrote them asking if 
their equipment works with free operating systems.  Here's the reply.

Note that their system is not available in the Lansing area; it looks 
like it's only in Detroit and Grand Rapids for now, but they expect to 
expand.  They provide at least 500MB/month for free, but they also have 
service plans you pay for.  It seems to me that 10GB/month was only $3.99.

Hi Charles,

Our Photon hotspot should work for you, it's a WiFi hotspot that can
connect up to 8 wireless enabled devices with no hardware requirements.
I would not recommend the Bolt USB because this has many system
requirements and I believe you would run in to a lot problems if you
were to order this device.

Let us know if you have any additional questions - we're here to help.
Thank you for your support!

Do any of your devices support PCs running GNU/Linux, or any of the BSDs
(FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.), without having to run any Windows
emulators? Thanks.
