Hi Frank, >>The reasoning contained in your reference posts, which make a great deal of sense to me, by the way, suggests that a "public-spaces" version of femto deployment would, by necessity, be designed to use licensed spectrum outside the bands of established wireless services, hence the likely need to incorporate additional modal capabilities in mobile appliances. Correct? << No, each femto is controlled by ONE operator, like ATM machines are each controlled by ONE operator. The operator has a cellular band license. Cellular handset availability is driven by scale - one measure is MHz POPs, another is revenue. There is no common "public spaces" licensed spectrum, none of any scale. This WiMAX whitepaper says 30 MHz minimum to compete in urban markets wimaxforum.org If you want to talk about necessity, talk about LEAP wireless and MetroPCS being the sixth and seventh operators in Philadelphia. Who would invest in "public-spaces" to be the eighth operator in Philadelphia? petere
