Hmmm...

And are these femtocells restricted to certain cell phones, or can anyone use them? The only problem I could see with them is abuse, by people other than the owner of the device.

Can someone provide a more detailed bit of information about how they work, or are they just comparable to a wi-fi hotspot, except it is for mobile phones?

What prevents other users from using your femtocell to make phone calls, possibly opening you up to litigation for illegal activities which may be done using your broadband connection and the criminals mobile phone?

Unless you configure the femtocell to recognize (and allow access) only certain handsets, then you raise a valid point.

On sprint's you specified up to 5 ESN's you wanted to allow access it and only those could

GSM does not use ESN's however...so I would like to know how they would implement this.

Most likely the SIM ID or the phone number like sprint »www.sprintenterprise.com/airave/faq.html
