AT&T Expands MicroCell Service

"We've previously written about AT&T's MicroCell device and service here at TUAW. It's a tiny cell tower that you plug into your home cable or DSL connection to boost your phone reception. This is particularly handy for those with home offices who may currently be plagued with poor reception on their iPhones."
And now five more markets have been added to their trial list. Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Las Vegas and San Diego residents now can set up their very own MicroCell, but only if they want to spend the additional $19.99 USD per month on top of the existing AT&T bill (besides the $150.00 USD the device costs). The MicroCell covers an area up to 5,000 square feet and is perfect for those with spotty coverage in their homes. Seems like a steep price to pay for this though, should AT&T just fix the coverage issues for their customers?
