This, indeed, is a nice *technical* project. We follow up the project from some time. However from the practical point of view, has problems. The big one is regulation. In our country, a developing one, GSM bands are all licensed to the big operators, so you can not implemented a project like the OpenBTS, because you are no licensed. The big operators will never try to implement such kind of projects. And the regulators protects the big operators. Please, do not ask why.
