Re: Is Verizon Next?
said by pende_tim  :I wonder how long it is before Verizon offers this service? They have promised a new tower in this area for years and every time I contact the district engineer, it is pushed back a few months. The township committee signed a lease at the DPW building, but Verizon has not applied to the planning board yet, so it is at least 10 months away. This device on Verizon would fill in a BIG hole for me. If you keep complaining, they will let you get out of your contract or if ENOUGHT people cry about it, they might do something. |

Re: Found it
said by pende_tim :Yea I saw a article a while back stating they were going to do it some time in 2008, but that is rather vague. So far nothing I can order and use. Agreed, but I do think they will follow along just to remain competitive. |

Re: Is Verizon Next?
You'd think Verizon (along with "the new" at&t) would be reluctant to do this, as it could increase the number of people dropping the cash cow landline telephone for cellular-only- I suppose they figure that if people are going to drop the landline, it's better to have them on VZW than on Sprint or T-Mobile. |

I wish I could find the reference, but Verizon is going to do something similar. I had seen it, quoted it but alas......now I cannot find the original.
So there is hope for you to get a femtocel in your home (I believe sometime this year). |
