""Every household connected ...." A couple of points regarding your post "Yes, if they use microcells, " A shift in mindset of the current network operators, or a new player making an appearence in the field, is needed before this happens. Network operators are looking to reduce network roll-out costs, which they link to the price and number of basestations needed to provide 'adequate' service. If this is not good enough, then people like COX communications can put them up via cable TV ( see saunders CDMA equipment) and distribute this down the street with super microcells wiht 1-2 block radius. This isn't happening. COX is more interested in pushing cable directly into the home. One thing to note technically on AT&T. they canot use the microcell approach very well, since they cannot reuse the adjacent frequencies on cell sites like CDMA. I thought that DECT addressed this very issue. DECT was designed as an 'access' technology to GSM. The idea is that you would layout out a campus type situation (e.g. a hospital) with a DECT microcell network, which also acts as a gateway to the much larger GSM network. w.
