Texas Instruments shows off 32-user femtocell at Femtocells World Summit (SlashGear)

Calls drop, the phone simply won’t ring sometimes, and generally the data speeds are slow. AT&T will sell me a femtocell to shore up the shoddy network by using my WiFi connection at home. I just don’t think…

In part, I agree with him – WiFi is much better for *certain* applications and use cases. However, I’ll make a few comments upfront. Firstly, WiFi can be a royal pain to set up,…
