And now, my thanks goes to those responsible for the Arundino and Raspberry Pi. Those little gadgets (plus Linus Torvalds) are taking me right back to my roots. Woo-hoo! :up:
;D

Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on both of those and start building shit.

That article above is very interesting. Does this mean that if enough local people build these hack cell devices, you can create a local cell network?
Los Angeles is pretty packed...what if, for example, one of these devices existed every 1/4 mile or so. Would that allow LA to have an independent cell network? And would govmt or other people be pissed about it? Or is it illegal?

Nope. It would just mean the FCC enforcement division would have to start putting in a little more overtime. (As you already suspected.) :tellme:
superboyac:
So what we're ultimately saying is, don't even bother. There's not point trying to come up with a way to create a local cell network, however easy or hard that is to do, because it is illegal. So don't play with cell technology, don't try to create a custom cell phone. Why should I learn all that stuff and experiment with it if I'm not allowed to use it?
At least there's no FCC to stop me from playing piano, I suppose.
