Following Vodafone’s lead, France’s SFR has now become the second network operator in Europe to launch femtocell service for its signal-strapped customers. The Ubiquisys-sourced unit is being sold under the SFR Home 3G brand and runs €199 ($300), so you’d better really need a couple extra bars before you take the plunge — though the good news is that they’re not laying down any arbitrary restrictions requiring you to use it with SFR’s DSL service. Coincidentally, SFR is minority-owned by Vodafone, so the move makes some sense — so whether femtocells take off in Europe among any carriers without Voda interest remains to be seen.
