Re: Available in my area said by Matt:said by wifi4milez:Karl, I question why you keep insisting that the majority of us want to pay more instead of using our existing minutes. Each time you post a femto article you make that claim, yet the comments dont seem to support your hypothesis. If you re-read the thread, you will see that you can buy the device and use your minutes. The rest of your post makes no sense, especially when you make the assumption that 99.9999 to infinity and beyond don't need more than 450 minutes. Perhaps you should re-read the original article, as it was posted. Karl clearly states (as he does each time we discuss this)
"There's still indications that AT&T will also offer a less-expensive plan that eats your wireless minutes, which as we've complained with Verizon's femtocell launch, is a good way to destroy the value proposition for the customer"
For whatever reason he seems to think everyone agrees with his argument. As I pointed out, and as many others have pointed out, "eating minutes" should be the core offering here because it actually creates value.
You also should re-read my comment about the extra 450 minutes. I never said 450 minutes in total was enough, however when coupled with the original 450 minutes of the included plan (for a total of 900) that is more than most people use. Having 900 minutes available anywhere, as opposed to unlimited while only in range of the femto, is a far better to deal to the majority of people.

"Q. Do I need to subscribe to an AT&T Unlimited MicroCell Calling feature?
A. No. While highly recommended for maximum benefit, a subscription to AT&T Unlimited MicroCell Calling is not required. Your normal wireless from AT&T minute plan rates will apply."

You do NOT have to get any monthly plan to use the femto.
