Yes, finally sometime in the distant future you will actually be able to rule your home empire from your couch. With femtocell serving as your scepter, home will ultimately be a couch potato’s paradise. After the successful launch of Sprint’s Airave femtocell, (which is a small box, connected to your router to keep you connected always to your cell phone by routing your calls through the internet even in a place where you do not have your cell phone service) femtocell developers are working on building a femtocell hub for home that would eventually control hosts of home appliances over an internet network. This means you will have a super remote that besides controlling your cell phone calls and messages will also control the cooking mode of your microwave oven, switch on your TV and turn on your gas stove. However, as every cyber-space menaces the problems of hackers infringing into your private space always remains, turning on your music system when you are sleeping!
