The company has been selling Linksys WRT54G routers that are FON ready

DailyTech earlier reported that the FON Wi-Fi service is now shipping FON ready routers to users that are interested in trying to build a global Wi-Fi community that allows members to share hotspots.  In his official blog, FON CEO Martin Varsavsky explains that his company is designing and selling its own routers for European and North American consumers.  In reality, a simple firmware download is all that is needed to make a router FON compatible.

To get some more details about FON, please head to our previously published article about the service.

If sharing is my objetive, I don't know why should I flash my router's firmware instead of leaving it in open state.

Now I could be wrong, but from my understanding that if you are in a FON group and your router lets others people ahve access to your connection you get access to other peoples connection free. Its almost like a peer to peer thing. If you give access you get it free if not you have to pay for access to a FON.
