Whalesong... Whalesong... And strong drugs 

In O2 plans commercial femtocells for 2009

Bwahahaha

This assumes that Joe Average Luser will use the phone as his main device to access the internet and he will never access his local network. So he will not listen to his 500MB stash of MP3s, not watch his stash of videos, not ...

Instead of that he will buy only stuff offered by the provider. Yeah right, whatever and whoever is smoking dat pass it along.

The underlying problem here is that from a FemtoCell Joe Average Luser emerges at the end of the GGSN deep on the operator network. Any traffic to his own LAN has to be tromboned back all the way (up the narrow end of DSL in most cases). That is not going to fly with the majority of the so called "early adopter" crowd. They want to use a device to the full and if they cannot do an elementary thing like sync it to their own PC they are not going to use it
