Abstract
A method and system for offering a femtocell to a subscriber. The method includes a computer system making a first determination that a level of wireless performance experienced by a mobile station of a subscriber at a given location is less than a threshold level. The method further includes the computer system making a second determination that the given location is location associated with a billing address of the subscriber. The method then includes, in response to the first and second determinations, the computer system initiating a process of offering a femtocell to the subscriber.

A method comprising:
- a computer system making a first determination that a level of wireless performance experienced by a mobile station of a subscriber at a given location is less than a threshold level;
- the computer system making a second determination that the given location is a location associated with a billing address of the subscriber;
- in response to the first and second determinations, the computer system initiating a process of offering to provide a femtocell to the subscriber.
A method comprising:
- a computer system making a first determination that a level of wireless performance experienced by a mobile station of a subscriber at a given location is less than a first threshold level;
- the computer system making a second determination that the given location is a location associated with a billing address of the subscriber;
- the computer system making a third determination that a value of the subscriber to a wireless service provider is above a second threshold level;
- and
- in response to the first, second, and third determinations, the computer system initiating a process of offering to provide a femtocell to the subscriber.
A system for offering a femtocell to a subscriber, the system comprising:
- a position-determining module;
- an analysis module;
- and
- a femtocell-offering module,
- wherein the position-determining module is configured to, for each of a plurality of mobile events of a mobile station of a given subscriber, determine a location where the mobile event occurred,
- wherein the analysis module is configured to (i) make a first determination that a level of wireless performance experienced by a mobile station of a subscriber at a given location is less than a threshold level and (ii) make a second determination that the given location is a location associated with a billing address of the subscriber,
- wherein the femtocell-offering module is configured to initiate a process of offering to provide a femtocell to the subscriber responsive to the first and second determinations.
