AT&T Blows the Whistle on 3G Data (Mobile Nuthouse)
AT&T has spoken out and stated that their femtocell, the 3G Microcell, “is primarily intended to enhance the voice call quality experience in your home.” The femtocell is made by Cisco for AT&T and it’s fair to say that it is a device perfectly capable of handling 3G data, so it’s not due to a limitation of the femtocell that AT&T are saying this. “While it can carry mobile data traffic, that’s…

Putting a value on customer data with reference to offload (Dean Bubley’s Disruptive Wireless)
There continues to be a ferocious discussion about AT&T’s new data plans – and also, as I commented a couple of weeks ago, about the fact that its femtocell traffic counts against a user’s monthly data cap. Broadband Reports gives airtime to AT&T’s rather unconvincing explanation: “3G MicroCell is primarily intended to enhance the voice call quality experience in your home,” AT&T’s Seth Bloom…
