Re: I wonder how long before ISP's start complaining

I hope other providers chime in. Sounds like a good time to bring up network neutrality ...

Maybe it's just me, but this seems an awful lot like double dipping.
Users of at&t's cellular telephone services pay for the ability to make calls, over at&t's cellular telephone network. Now, with this femtocell bru-hah-hah, at&t wants users to pay again to have the option of passing calls over the Internet. I would think after spending 40 bucks on the hardware, at&t would be giving discounts for using it? Much like they do if you participate in paperless billing.

Americans already pay some of the highest mobile phone rates in the world! Almost double what users of advanced networks in Europe pay. What exactly are we paying for?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

I could however see paying a little to get the unlimited minutes if you are not already on a unlimited calling plan. But for those who get this fem2cell that use their minutes on their main cellphone plan and still have to pay to use this "service" is pure bullshit in all honesty.

Hell..you are even using your own bandwidth to provide the call.

Its to bad to because there was alot of hype surrounding this fem2cell crap and its a total flop because of the added money you have to pay to use it.
