In the US: a federal bill to proposes femtocells in every federal building in the country

The bill proposes installation of femtocells and WiFi hotspots in about 9,000 buildings owned and operated by the US GSA, and to be mandatory in any future federal structures.
The bill also asks for a $15 million budget for the performance of retrofitting and future installs.

The influence of industries and businesses over governance bodies is not new to the US. If this bill goes through it will give a push to the often thought "disruptive" femtocell technology.

I don't see the point in having one in every federal building.

What if there is already a full signal. Plus, aren't femtocells only available for AT&T Users?
