I read this, and I say "So, how, precisely, do they expect to get from carriers the necessary encryption keys to make this actually *work* with commercial carriers?"
Or isn't that the point?
Or is there something I'm missing?
If you were gonna invent your *own* air interface, I don't know that GSM is where I'd go, these days, and this seems equivalent to that, if there's no practical way to interface this with commercial carriers.

AFAIK, all the necessary encryption keys are on the SIM. So you just need to get a SIM from a commercial carrier. They are not that hard to obtain.

Yep. If your in the USA. Go and buy a 'Go Phone' from AT&T or whatever. Pay for your minutes,
take the sim, throw the phone away (well get the Nokia and use it as backup.. they get unreal battery life). Pretty simple.
Then hack away.
