AT&T has previously hinted (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/92551) that they'd be offering femtocells before the end of the year, and that they'd potentially be offering unified billing for the service. According to one research firm, AT&T has signed a contract (http://www.rcrnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080424/FREE/895619934/1014/rss01) with London-based ip.access Ltd. for $500 million in femtocells, which the company will sell for $100 each. Femtocells essentially create a micro cell tower in your home that improves coverage and allows you to make calls over your broadband connection (easing strain on local towers is an added perk for AT&T).
