We've consistently complained that carriers have done a good job leeching all of the value out of femtocells by charging too much for the units themselves, and employing pricing models that eat user minutes. All of this despite the fact the femtocells do as much for the carrier as they do for the consumer; easing local tower congestion for carriers by using the consumer's residential bandwidth line. Perhaps realizing their Microcell service could use a little help (considering the early launch headaches) AT&T's now giving the unit away to some customers deemed "most valuable" -- though it's not clear what you need to do to be considered such.
