AT&T Takes a Beating for MicroCell Pricing

Despite the fact that I live in a burgeoning metropolis with a clear view of San Francisco, the cell reception at my home is embarrassingly unreliable. For this reason, and this reason only, I'm forced to maintain a landline. This makes me the ideal customer for something like AT&T's MicroCell device, which is currently being tested in the Charlotte, NC area.
