Weren't folks setting up their own GSM network at Burning Man?
- phowat 16y agoYes, using OpenBTS ( http://openbts.sourceforge.net/ http://openbts.sourceforge.net/ ) . It's quite a cool project. Unfortunately, it would be illegal to use here in Brazil.
- mctavjb9 16y agoWhy do you think OpenBTS is illegal in Brazil? There's a research group at UFPA in Belem that's been quite active in the OpenBTS project. I met two of the guys at the OpenBTS Workshop in Germany last summer. See-- http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5304848 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?arnumber=5304... A license for the GSM spectrum used by OpenBTS from the relevant government telecommunications authority is necessary almost everywhere in the world.
