T-Mobile is coming out with this in the US. They call it UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access). The phone is a combination of GSM and WiFi. A lot of people are excited but I'm pretty much underwhelmed by it. In Japan they have a type of cellular called PHS where you have a little base station in your home and then there are thousands of other little stations in vending machines, etc. all over the place. Obviously it only works in town.
