The New York Times has some options to meliorate the pitiful position of current cell carrier coverage in some areas of the US . From passive options , like the $ 34.95Freedom Antenna , to repeaters and signal boosters , like the $ 299Spotwave Z1900or the $ 399Wi - Ex zBoost , which use a 16 - inch are - you - boosting - or - just - happy - to - see - me tube feeler . These boosters are FCC approved for consumer enjoyment but , apparently , you will head for the hills into problems if you ever decide to turn them on . The carrier say that they may wreak mayhem in their meshwork , endanger animation by disrupting emergency services , kill puppies all over the world and ruin intact universes . Meanwhile , the maker say that , while this may be straight sometimes , their systems avoid such extremum . And finally , the FCC just seems clueless about their own conflict regulations on the matter . perhaps the carriers should move their collective butts and either clarify their policy or extend their internet . perhaps that way we wo n’t have to gestate antennas like the one after the startle to get right coverage .
