The routers used by SFR/Neuf and Free have the "guest wifi" on by default. There's even a partnership between SFR/Neuf and Fon.

Do you mean "guest wifi" meaning one need not enter a WEP key, or do you mean "open wifi" like is being discussed here?

Because it is my understanding from reading the EFF page that they want the Starbucks model (open network and gratis connectivity), which differs from my experience with SFR/Orange/Neuf etc which are revenue-sharing deals [in my experience].

Even Netgear(? or perhaps D-link) in the US shipped access points with some kind of silly revenue-sharing situation.
