You don't pay for the other end of the connection.  When you make 
unlimited use of your microcell, you are making increased use of the 
other end of the system - potentially expensive use, depending on the 
carrier agreements AT&T has with other LECs.

Would you be happier if they gave you the microcell for free, then 
charged you extra because you got extra service (extended coverage) over 
the services other AT&T users get?
