Here's the part that really piqued my interest:
This Free.Fr free Wi-Fi network is going to play a pivotal role in the soon-to-be-launched service, which will be using 42 Mbps HSPA+ technology. The company has built a network of 15,000 macrocells, but those 5 million “nano cells” are going to be the key difference maker, Niel points out.
Free.fr’s newer set-top boxes will have built-in femtocells.
I live in a rural part of France, and my village sits in a mobile signal dead zone. My mobile phone only gets reception up in the attic of my house (0 bars, otherwise, usually), or I can go outside and walk a half km to make a (poor quality) call.
I do have DSL, though... is this (above) finally going to give me mobile reception, through a set-top box?
(Please please please?)
