maybe originally, but it works just fine indoors and has for a decade
or two. i even get a good signal inside a metal elevator.

rarely an issue, and it may not exist outside due to a multitude of
factors too.

nope. a microcell is a way to milk the user to make up for weakness in
the carrier's infrastructure. 

they should put up another cell tower if it's needed. unfortunately,
that's not always feasible or cost effective, especially when too many
idiotic residents complain and if the user is willing to pay for a
microcell, why even bother?
