AT&T Inks Femtocell Deal, Sets Trial for Later This Year
3G?
The only way I'd purchase a femtocell is if...
a) It gave me unlimited calling on my cell (similar to T-Mobile's UMA)
b) Was portable (i.e. I could take it into Canada and still use it on my Internet... saving $$$ like UMA)
c) Was 3G and allowed unlimited data/sms/text
I'm paying for the backhaul... I should be able to have some benefit out of it.

For point B, you would not be able to do that. AT&T is not licensed to provide service in Canada as other companies have been granted licenses to those frequencies. There is probably some kind of GPS on the device that would prevent it from using frequencies not licensed in a particular area, much like Sprint's.
Portable, and International... it will work.
Downside is that you need a special handset.
I want to know if a business could get one. What if your office was inside a basement with zero signal.
