All the information on pricing out there in the past day is bunk. From Sprint's own website, an Airave base station with let *ANYONE* with a Sprint phone get on the base station. If you want unlimited calling, however, you must have the unlimited Airave plan which is $15 OR a Simply Everything plan.

If you don't believe me, read it here:

(Oh and notice that a ongoing call will not hop from Sprint's towers to a base station and vise-versa. So no one driving by your house is going to accidentally end up on your bandwidth.)

It's looking like no one really has a good femtocell solution yet. If it can't do a handoff, it's clearly not acting like a mini cell tower. I've been using T-Mobile's Hotspot @ Home for over a year now and the big drawback to theirs is that you have to have one of a precious few UMA-enabled devices.
