  One big trouble with small cells is politics. At least historically the EU has standardized on GSM so you can install one set of small cells that everybody can roam to. In the US we have long had the CDMA vs GSM divide and we've even had other protocols in use. At the very least you need to support two different protocols in the US. I think also being a government agency a place like DESY would either let the phone companies put the small cells in for free or maybe even pay a small amount to put them in. (Our neighbors across the street paid about $200 for a Verizon network femtocell so my CDMA phone works if I stand at my mailbox) On the other hand I think the hotels would expect to get paid to add small cells just like the phone companies pay for tower space for macrocells.
