Regarding quantity: 3G femtocells in single quantities are also quite
expensive! Only if you buy them in volume (as an operator) they become
that cheap.
Furthermore, even the nanoBTS becomes _much_ cheaper when you buy it in volume
(let's say 1000 units or more)

The nanoBTS
from ipaccess is costing euro 3450 Mind you this is without any
software or server, just a single nanoBTS unit.
I thing several things contribute to the high price:
- That's part of ip.access revenue stream, they need to make money
- Quantity: There is probably much more femtocell made than nanoBTS
