All this will be fixed when cell phones start using the old analog TV frequencies that all the cell phone companies purchased for the government last year. The current frequencies just to don't have the power or distance that one would like for a communication device. But at the time that they were allocated people where excited about having a portable phone in the first place. Who knew we all wanted to talk and text and surf the internet while driving to the nearest Starbucks.

The original function looks sort of logarithmic to me [1], and a logarithmic curve makes sense for this sort of thing. The new AT&T curve linearizes it a bit. There will be fewer bars showing on the average, which may change the psychology of the thing. (AT&T: Fewer bars in more places. Or maybe AT&T: More bars in fewer places.)
