AT&T Looking to Offer $100 Femtocells?
Sweet mother, AT&T might be looking to suck just a little bit less by offering femtocells to end users for as little as $100. As a reluctant AT&T user I would be willing to drop the extra $100 to improve my cell reception around the house.
According to a report floating around the internet, AT&T has plans to move up to 7 million femtocells acquired from UK-based firm ip.access. Of course, as the story inevitably goes, nobody is admitting to anything.
Couple the rollout of femtocells with AT&T taking over wireless hot spots at all Starbucks locations (formerly managed by T-Mobile) and suddenly AT&T has a nice little framework for a fraction of the normal deployment costs.
