So comcast is pushing for shareing bandwidth? that's kinda what it sounds like with the " we build our own femtocell network we don’t have to pay for that." quote

Re: wait..

I think you're not understanding what a femtocell is.
Very limit range, and usually only supports 2-5 devices and will likely (in Comcast's case) to require some login/authentication to sign-on. This isn't your basic open wi-fi AP, more like a personal range extender to be sure you get coverage in your home/business space.

So, does this mean that Comcrap customer will get a discount because they are sharing their connections for Voice services.
