Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

Future of femtocells

In the earnings call SM said that femtocells was an area of focus. That surprised me because I don't find femtocells useful aside from making phone calls. Wifi is everywhere and our ISP has hotspots everywhere. Since our team works on femtocells, I assumed our jobs were safe.

Only serious responses please.
