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.
