French operator SFR has decided to give away a 3G femtocell to any subscriber who wants one. The little devices cost €49 (US$66), which will be automatically reimbursed as soon as it is connected and activated. As for its macro network, the operator has rolled out HSPA+ in the country with 43 percent of the population covered with mobile broadband speeds up to 21 Mbit/s. SFR also said it is testing an Auto Connect Wi-Fi service that will seamlessly switch users from Wi-Fi to 3G connections, depending on hotspot and mobile coverage conditions.
