appleinsider.com — A recent carrier update delivered to U.S. iPhone users through iTunes contains two small files for use with AT&T's future MicroCell signal-patching device. The update to the iPhone's carrier settings arrives on the heels of AppleInsider's report on AT&T's 3G solution to patch iPhone dead zones just last week.

Verizon is deploying them as well. There is no guarantee of signal inside structures and this is why there's a big push for these. It covers your house and yard pretty well, but will not be covering your block. The side benefit is that it relieves congestion on neighborhood cellular towers when everyone is at home using their cell phones.It's never been about network planning, just ensuring that you can get your calls indoors a little bit better.

so really, it does nothing to patch the dead zones in AT&T's network. Instead, it allows the iPhone to work on their bulls**t personal cell box that they're going to try to convince people is a better alternative to a landline
