IIRC OpenBTS was developed by a small group of GSM software experts, with many years GSM experience between them, and GSM essentially being a frozen standard now.
Still an achievement, sure... makes me wonder why pico cells aren't everywhere offering an alternative carrier. (Guess WiFi stayed good enough, and we have moved to over the top apps that don't need cell network).
- gnaffle 14y agoIsn't the reason mostly that the spectrum is licensed? So the only ones that can actually set up a picocell are the ones that own spectrum, and they don't have a good reason to do so (except in remote areas / on boats).
