action - telecoms.com,

Tiny
technology, tiny industry, tiny forum
Once the Femto Forum can announce a few operator members, and get them
to commit to deployment, then femtocells should have a glorious future;
but getting the operators to publicly sign up might prove harder than
the forum imagines - The
Register, 2 Jul 2007
Femtocells
gain ground
A clearly focused forum, if well managed, can make decisions more

Femtocell forum plans standards
drive

Fast
forward femtocells
The Femto Forum initiative is,

“…official beginning of the femtocell
industry.” - Telecom

Sorting through the femtocell fray
Where marketing is important, the Forum could represent one unified,
compelling voice. Where a standard, open interface out of the femtocell
is required, the Forum (with the help of operator members) could help
in defining the interface. Where operators pursuing diverse
functionalities could keep femtocell scale in check, the Forum could
help to coordinate requirements - Fierce

forward with standards

gateway, the Femto Forum is now looking ahead to assure that
international standards bodies consider femtos when developing
