SCEJ has formed a partnership with the world's biggest global WiFi community "FON", from which a service will be launched akin to Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection. The name? PSP×FON.

Looks like this is the service they'll use to sell PSP games digitally, as mentioned before.

Only question is why it took them so long..

Under the partnership the two companies plan to roll out FON access points in the region for a free internet browser via the Sony PlayStation Portable.

Starting today, there are approximately 44,000 FON spots across Japan and over 2,200 FON livedoor spots, which primarily cover central Tokyo. Through this service gamers can use their PSPs to download game demos, clips, wallpaper and the like.
