So if Andreas and you decide you want to hook up OpenBTS and
OpenBSC over VoIP,
please go ahead and do so. But this is unrelated to the 26C3 GSM

with the
public networks.
My personal opinion, for whatever it's worth: Based on our experience
trying to coexist with Commnet Wireless at Burning Man, I would say
that trying to run two experimental networks in the same place
without cross-roaming will be confusing for the test users and a big
mess for the operators. OpenBSC has their own agenda for the 26c3
test network, a second network would probably interfere with that
agenda. I see the Congress as OpenBSC's "home turf", where they get
to set the agenda. I'd very much like to cooperate somehow if
there's an advantage from doing so, but I don't see 26c3 as the right
opportunity.
(BTW - I still don't know if I will be attending, but whether or not
there's an OpenBTS network running probably doesn't alter that
decision. It's great to meet in person and I miss the smell of Club
Mate.)
