Thanks for the replies. I suppose carrying one of these abroad could launch a nice spectrum war! This is probably also the reason why the Picocells on cruise ships and aircraft are only activated once the vessel is out of range of 'terrestrial' GSM.

The GPS in the femtocell is a good idea, but I don't think the Vodafone femtocell has one. One of the case studies on their website tells the story of a guy who lives in a basement! Apart from his lack of GSM and UMTS, I doubt he will pick up GPS satellites down there either!
