I'm not saying they wouldn't build a WiMax femtocell that might look like a WiFi router but we are talking about toatlly different technologies.

Also, Wi-Max is more like a cellular network in that it can span a much larger area then just a house..
Wi-Max is 4G.. It is Sprint's 4G network... I believe that Wi-Max will not be sold like a Femtocell.. It will be built on towers, much like today's wireless network is set up.. It is a whole new technology, so devices have to be built to use it..
And you apologized and recognized that you were thread jacking... It's no problem!

I hate having to to have a house phone when everyone in my house has at least two cellphone. Pointless to me. I havent had a hardline in the house for 8yrs. Til I got married. A friend of mine has the Tmobile at home and she likes it alot. She says it disconnects alot from her router, but it doesnt really bother her and it says her money.
