Story: Femtocells tipped to save operators over $5bn
You are missing the market segment where this technology will excel
I live in a rural area where we have poor to non existant mobile coverage. Even if we do have coverage it may be with a provider who doesnt offer the device we require (want).
If the network operators could produce a cell which was wifi and a network provider compatible the owner/residents of that property could use there mobile where currently they cant. This increase the arpu. If a user from another network came with in range and there handset had wifi they could switch to wifi and be able to make and receive calls again this will increase the arpu.
Decision makes who dont live or work in rural areas dont understand the problems and therefor cant see the revenue opportunity.
