Do you see any interest in the domain of femtocells?
Of course. There is already support for one in openbsc [1].
this model, that will be sold in France, claims to be pluggable (probably via ethernet) into nearly any ISP provided home router (internet "box").

Is it in any way comparable to the nanoBTS and other stuff you're hacking nowadays ?
AFAIK this device is 3G only. Since there is no 3G support in openbsc (yet), I am afraid there is not much value in the device for openbsc at the moment. Please don't take my statements as authoritative, I'm not a dev of the project. By the way, openbsc has it's own ML [2].
For a bit more information, see [4].
