What Vodafone probably installed at your roof was a repeater. Ivan ” In my home in Madrid for example I had poor coverage and Vodafone installed a Femto cell in my roof”

People want to pay and get value added features and services. If this network is ever successful it will be bought and then user fees will be put in place. Are international businesspersons so cheap they won't pay for something? I see no real future in this, but that's just me. I used to steal MP3's and now I pay for them via iTunes and feel better about it. Communism is not the way of the future. Free does not work,never has never will.

However things are complicated regarding licensing, as FON would need a priceless 3G license (if there's frequency spectrum available at all) or would become highly dependant on national network operators. But before this could become reality, multi-mode phones will come, that are capable of GSM, 3G, WiFi and WiMAX. Such multi-mode chipsets are already under development. The high royalities for 3G-equipment are another issue. WiMAX-femto cells would be way more interesting, as WiMAX operators aim to a quick roll-out of their networks and don't fear for their revenue like 3G operators do.
