And, since you'd have it for that purpose, you'd cancel your land connection and go 100% WiMax. You could have higher mobile speeds at home, but you cant cancel your "land connection" because the femto needs an internet connection itself in order to work. What he means is that you can cancel your *landline connection* (remember, femtocell software can be an add-in to router software, such as Tomato/DD-WRT/OpenWRT, or as a hardware-based add-on (router + hardware femtocell, much as WiMax is deployed today in the EU); both approaches are possible).
The Internet connection can be CHSI (that is used by WiFi VoIP today), so why is VoIP over WiMax impossible, or even implausible? | |

| Re: ? why do i want this ? What could be the case is a femtocell that is a combination device (wireless + femtocell).
It could even be the equivalent of a network device (femtocell that connects to a router via Ethernet) so it could be used to connect to customer-owned routers, or both.
(Such a femtocell would be the equivalent of a home Mifi device, or T-Mobile's Hotspot@Home, but based on femto tech.) | |

| Good lord... ...why do we keep hearing about this stupid femtocell nonsense. A few years ago we were hearing about how big they were gonna be. Same with Wimax. Now its Wimax femtocells? Come on.
Someone wake me when this show is over.
