Hi Andy.

I don’t disagree with you. However, when the base station developers were first talking about something much smaller – Pico or Femto etc, it was more focused around 3G, not 2G. This seems to have changed over the last 12 months with the focus switching towards 2G femtocells – this was certainly Ericsson viewpoint a few months ago.

I’m also sure that some mobile operators will attempt to use 3G femtocells, when they become available at the right price, to consider using them to provide mobile broadband services in offices, mall and the home – if they can get the tariffing correct.
