Femtocell Hotel

To the question what kind of connectivity hotels will provide 5 years from now, I answered this :

- all best hotels will offer optic fiber connections to their hosts.

- but people will still need a wireless broadband connection of some kind (tuning in from your smartphone or smartPDA or smartwhatever is easier and can get quite addictive*). And something more secure and powerful than WiFi should definitely make it to handheld devices within 5 years. And some MNOs will get even better at this kind of service.

- I believe many smart users will always carry some sort of femtocell to tune to whatever broadband connection they get, even without a laptop.

* even for a Parisian : I'm routinely roaming from one free hotspot to another on my Velib'
