Plenty of users have eschewed landlines in favor of moving entirely to cell service. One major hurdle has stood in the way for many people, however--poor indoor cell service. Femtocell has been offered as a potential remedy to the issue, but, save for Sprint and Verizon, providers have largely balked at the technology.
Engadget Mobile, however, has uncovered a user survey suggesting that the nation's largest provider, AT&T, is taking a firm look at the technology. The survey asks users to rate their interest on the following statement,
AT&T's new product is a small, security-enable cellular base station that easily connects to your home DSL or Cable Internet, providing a reliable wireless signal for any 3G phone in every room of your house.
The unnamed device, it adds, also gives users "unlimited, nationwide Anytime Minutes for incoming and outgoing calls."
