For all the author's sarcasm, it was not much a relief from the marketing-speak that the cell companies are plagued by. But I am still glad they are selling these. To me it is a symbolic gesture that says they actually care about solving the many technical problems that they still face.

To me it is a symbolic gesture that AT&T doesn't want to pay to upgrade their terrible network, so they would rather the customers pay to buy and install their own femtocells. I, for one, will refuse to buy one. If AT&T on the other hand wants to provide one free of charge, and pay me a reasonable fee of $25 per month for 2 gigabytes of bandwidth, I will be happy to host it for them.
