Here's a question: Will the Federal Communications Commission allow the widespread use of a device that can make it easier for Americans to use cell-phone technology, with fewer dropped calls and stronger signals?

I don't know the answer — and, frankly, it was difficult to figure out how to get one this past holiday weekend — but it is a fascinating issue.

Wilson Electronics Inc. offers a "universal cell phone signal booster" under the trademarked name Sleek, at a list price of $129, though I've seen it at both Amazon.com and NewEgg.com for $30 or so less. The booster clips to your dashboard, and is powered through what used to be the cigarette lighter outlet. (Now, I think, it's just called "power" in most cars.) There's an external antenna that magnetically attaches to a car rooftop, and a wire snakes back in.

It may not be the most elegant solution visually, but Jonathan Bacon, marketing manager for the Wilson firm, swears that it works: When he had a daily commute from Salt Lake City to Wilson's offices in St. George, Utah, at the southern end of the state, he never missed a beat, cell call-wise. Without the device, Mr. Bacon said, the phone signal periodically would cut out along that winding trip.
