How could lots of cellular radios be used to capture data that's in the air?

  Yes, this is what I want to know. I didn't think a cell phone (or any number of cell phones) could intercept other phone calls/data. I know a fake cell tower has some capability for that.

    Crash the tower (instead of jamming it) and then put up your own fake tower?

      It's wireless comms, can't anyone with a radio tune in? The problem is capturing all channels which can be accomplished with lots of radios How are cell signals different from any other radio comms?

        The problem is that it's all encrypted.

          Yes I know. I assume a state actor could still use it if not decrypt it.
