AT&T have a technology waiting in the wings that promises to improve in-home 3g reception. The only question is how long it's gonna wait in said wings…
The 3G MicroCell, a home-based femtocell (repeater), works the same way as WiFi repeaters: it retransmits and strengthens a cell signal, which is especially useful in a house or building where wireless signals normally have trouble penetrating.
The Death Star has been quietly testing the Cisco-built technology in reportedly 200 trial homes since April. Many other countries around the globe have already offered up their own femto solutions. Now, AT&T promises the MicroCell to be "on track for a full national launch by the end of 2009."
Obviously, that doesn't help the folks who have to go outside to get a phone connection, but it's still something to look forward to…

This article is full of bad info. The femtocell is not a repeater. It uses a broadband connection to provide 3g service where service was not available before. If you had to go outside to use your cell phone previously, this WILL help you.
