Are they really counting raindrops though, or just estimating rainfall intensity?
I'm guessing the latter --- in which case, I'm not sure I'm a fan of the sensationalism....
Regardless, is there a good resource for the modeling done in this?

The idea is to use mobile towers as cheap weather stations/precipitation radars especially in developing countries.
