Houston, TX | Femtocells are NOT designed to relieve network strain Femtocells are designed to provide better service on customer premises. If you can't get a reliable signal in your house, buy our femtocell - and pay the ridiculous monthly fee - and your signal will improve!
It's an option-add that can provide better service for the customer. That's the basis on which VZW is charging for it. They are holding their customers hostage with crappy service, and then forcing them to pay extra to get decent service.
AT&T is piloting it, and while I hope their program is simply replicating Verizon's already abusive practice on a temporary and proof-of-uselessness basis, hopefully the failure of the trials will lead them to a fairer pricing model. History has shown otherwise, but we'll see. |

| No they'll just tank it claiming no one really wanted the service to begin with. |
|
| And also spin that to mean that customers are plenty happy with the reception they're getting already so there's no real problem |
