Can You Run an Open GSM Network? 51

Posted by Cliff on Friday April 27, 2007 @07:22PM from the be-your-own-cell-phone-carrier dept.

OpenCell asks: "Here in Vancouver, cellphone companies are charging ridiculous amounts for basic cellphone plans. I'm wondering if it's possible to run an open/almost free GSM network on a small college campus. Assuming we could find the hardware and get the rights, is there open source software out there to handle most aspects for something like this?"

That is the simplest of explanation, it is simply the network of smaller networks that are connected together.. Its simple to explain what a network is.. Its just a collection of communicating devices..

A simple analogy is the voice network of networks [International Calls / Local Telephone Providers] and tell them instead of telephones its more versatile communication devices like computers.

Hang on a second isnt the N95 a computer now ?
