Today this is available via the mobile phone network, though coverage is patchy indoors and in remote areas. This means that not all users can get the seamless coverage they desire.
Networks of small cell basestations—femtocells—are being deployed to enable better coverage in buildings and high-performance data services on mobile devices. A femtocell is essentially an access point that enables users to reliably connect from their mobile handset to the mobile phone network via a home DSL or cable broadband connection. For operators, femtocells represent a cost-effective way of increasing in-building network coverage and capacity.
