Middleboro, MA | I love speculation My speculative point of view is that Magic Jack will offer their FemtoJack where by it will create an association with the cellphone and the cellphone will run through the majic jack phone service.
The power will be low enough to fit within current FCC regulations (as who would be stupid enough to create something that wasn't). Current Fem to Cell already does this or else every one of them would require an FCC license and that is not happening.
I have considered playing with the Magic Jack but didn't want to fork out $40. I did the Sunrocket thing for $199 and got almost two years before they went under.
BIG SPECULATION
Google will buy Majic Jack and combine it with Grand Central/Google Voice.
Just my speculation. |

The femtocells offered by mobile providers usually have GPS so they will only work in areas covered by that provider's license. So they are properly licensed transmitters, under the provider's license. Are there existing femtocell products out there that are not associated with a mobile provider? |

Middleboro, MA | GPS does not work on a femtocell in my basement...Typically you need to have some view of the horizon.
I would venture a guess that they use IP tracking to assume that you are in your home.
GPS on your phone would work for you last reportable location.
A 3000 sf home is only a 60 diameter circle. I venture the guess that it is not a big issue for them. |
