Time Warner Cable has struck a deal with WiFi provider Fon that will let its home-based broadband customers turn their Internet connections into public wireless hotspots. The move is somewhat evolutionary for American service providers who have traditionally shied away from permitting customers from using their services at public WiFi locations. The partnership will allow Time Warner Cable subscribers to create access points from their home or business broadband connections.
