These femtocells seem interesting at first glance. But they have negatives. You're using your own paid-for ADSL to "patch "your broadband phone carrier's network and paying for the same data twice - once to your IP and then to your phone provider. Seems a poor deal.
And if you have broadband internet anyway, which can give you VOIP, why do you want to mess with your mobile phone?
And finally, since we're on satellite out here in the sticks, the latency inherent in that signal, and it's very flaky nature, makes that unworkable either via VOIP or a femtocell. So it's a Passive Repeater or nothing for me I think.
