If the pricing is right, I think femtocells could become huge. My coverage at home is very good, but this would be a killer product for those with shaky coverage.

Slacker,

Aren't you trading wireless reliability for VOIP like reliability?

How good is VOIP reliability? I still hesitate to go with a VOIP system because my internet, DSL or CABLE, still goes down pretty regularly.

And Broadband coverage is about the same as Cell coverage, so wouldn't most of the folks that could be helped the most by this already be in a high coverage area?

This could all change once Verizon and others finishes laying fiber everywhere.

I agree its a great product, and could be huge in a few years, but competition from WiFi enabled cell phones could also have an impact by then too.

Interesting stuff.

Dan D.
