I was actually thinking that reading the article. You could build yourself a faraday cage around the house, and inside you have wifi and a femtocell. The issue comes when you have balconies / patios / laws that you want connectivity in, but the solution here is to set up wifi access points both inside and outside and you should have full coverage. A while back, my family living in the countryside of Europe were upset about a cell tower going up right next door. My uncles are a physicist and a microcontroller chip designer respectively, so after trying to fight the build for a while, they worked out at the time that the 50cm distance in the rebar in the house construction would work as a somewhat effective faraday cage for the frequency bands of the tower. I'm not sure if that was actually that effective, and is likely no longer the case, but I do remember having pretty nasty reception indoors in the early days.
