It's much much cheaper than that. Full test kit under $2-3k, last check. (But please remember to fly under Frequency Police's radar.) The current release has clock drift issues, which make it hard for less robust GSM modules (strangely, those found in higher-end phones) to latch onto the BTS. This has recently been solved. Oh and there was an injunction against their work. That's been lifted.

Exciting, even in these early stages. Once one guy has walked the hot coals, it all seems very simple. People start (rightly) asking why no one had done this before!

anyone up for this?

A while ago, I exchanged a couple of emails with one of the authors of
OpenBTS about a possible trial - he said it would cost $250k for a
local 4-month trial.  I didn't quite look into the details but that
sounded rather steep.
