I haven't really read up on Femtocells..sounds like health science or something..
Here is the recent news items on femtocells on the BBR front page:

»/nsearch?q=fem···18100000
So what I basically get is, Femtocell uses your internet connection that you have from say, Comcast, to transmit data/voice over your phone? And to provide better coverage from your cell company over YOUR internet connection, and that your neighbors also can get better coverage over your internet connection also?

No wonder Sprint hasn't gone public about this, its confusing as hell. If I can't grasp it, I'm sure Joe Blow will be wtf is that?

The femtocell can be used for what is being called Fixed Mobile Convergence. It will allow you to get 3G/4G speeds on the road while also getting the same or better speeds in the home(where 3g/4g signal strength could be weak) with the same mobile devices.

As far as neighbors using your femtocell, the writeups I have seen allow a registration process that would limit access to your own devices.

Re: what?

Which still has nothing, at all, to do with providing an alternative broadband ISP connection, right? You're describing a service that uses one's existing broadband connection for other services, the same as consumer VoIP from Vonage et al. or video via Slingbox, etc.

So your initial answer above...

When does cell phone internet take over the "home network" internet?
Femtocells in the home - not much longer for this to expand widely.
... is irrelevant nonsense, right? Unless femtocells have sprouted extraordinary mesh networking features about which I'm unaware.

Re: what?

Yes you are correct. Femtocells will use your home internet connection. And yes that post was irrelevant nonsense.
