Despite what consumers might say, it isn't clear how strong demand might be for each potential solution. T-Mobile USA, for example, cancelled its 'Hotspot at Home' service, apparently for lack of consumer interest in a service that partly was to improve indoor voice coverage, but also partly a way of stretching the value of voice calling plans. Maybe that isn't such a problem anymore.

Still, more than half of U.S. broadband households with mobile phones are interested in femtocell benefits, and are willing to pay for the devices and associated new services, a survey by Parks Associates, conducted for the Femto Forum has found.
