I hope so. It would really help in expanding the broadband network....

An innovative new mobile network technology will banish ugly mobile masts and help deliver rural broadband, its makers claim.
The system, dubbed "lightRadio", shrinks and simplifies the electronics in mobile network base stations to slash costs and energy consumption by around half, said Alcatel-Lucent, the French networking giant.
It offers connectivity to 2G, 3G and forthcoming 4G data networks via tiny cube-shaped antennae that fit in the palm of a hand and can be installed wherever there is power. The cubes do not have the range of a traditional mobile mast, but they are cheaper and less obtrusive, so can be installed in groups to offer the same or better coverage.
