    ha ha (just what I have been saying)

    Of course wide spread use of Femto cells needs decent broadband.

    Femto cells do nothing to ADD broadband capacity...

    "4G" will never be Broadband.

    So where is the Fibre and Broadband in Ireland for the bright new world of 4G

    Macro cells are so yesterday's 2G voice call.

    In case anyone doesn't see it,
    a Femto cell uses your EXISTING Broadband and for same range is slower than WiFi. No matter it 2.5G, 3G, 3.5G or 4G EDGE/HSPA or LTE or even WiMax.

    Fine "print" in recent Vodafone adverts for perfect 3G Coverage ("Home Broadband minmum speed yada yada yada required")
