4 edits | Re: I don't see the Vision I think that's what they ultimately want to do. As part of the Sprint/Clearwire deal, they specifically wanted 5Mhz (out of 100Mhz+ per market) set aside for femtocells. While they may want these inside customer homes, the real application will be to cover entire building complexes or even neighborhoods.
Perhaps in return, Sprint/Clearwire/Xohm users will be able to roam on the Comcast femtocells without having to setup a separate account. And those with a Comcast account can roam as well.
If cities are willing to spend bucks to get into muniWiFi, they may as well offer free rent to WiMAX carriers to place WiMAX repeaters/femtocells on city streetlight poles. |
