I do not remember having seen any specific request from you applying for an ARFCN for OpenBTS experiments. Like in any country of the world, you need a test license in Germany to operate equipment in the GSM band. If you did and I missed that, I apologize.
Sorry, I was not clear enough. I wrote that we want to have OpenBTS working and assumed that you include that in your ARFCN request.That's my bad, I should have been more clear.
I wouldn't tell for the whole world. ;) Someone wrote, that in Holland (IIRC) you can run low-power GSM in low part of 1800 without any restrictions. And in many countries no one just care if you run something low-power in clear ARFCN.
As you can see from my e-mail, we likely don't even have enough ARFCNs for operating the actual GSM network at 26C3 - not to talk about runing any more experimental stuff for doing actual development.
The priorities for me have been very clear: First the actual GSM network, then any experiments.
That's clear.
