Cell phone booster for the home in the news

I found a story via yahoo news today that is saying verizon and sprint will be pushing these cell phone signal boosters for the home. I had seen a story about these a month or so ago on G4, and though it was a novel gizmo, but the more I think about it, it really makes sense. I have had issues on occasion with cell phone signal at my various homes, and I know others that have as well.

Sam in fact had such horrible cell phone coverage at home that his voicemail actually said “I’m at home leave a message and I’ll call you when I leave.” Well I had thought that meant he was not to be disturbed at home, but what it actually meant was that he had zero signal at home and would not get any signal until he got three blocks from his house where the signal would actually start to pick up.

He didn’t live far from the main roads and was in a suburb just 8 minutes from downtown. So I see there is a big need for this in many places I assume.
