    Tim Panton proposes prototyping a telephone service for areas without cellular coverage using open source software and inexpensive hardware. The system would utilize OpenBTS to convert cellular signals to SIP and connect to Asterisk for routing calls through existing networks or directly between users without an outside connection. The goal is to provide basic phone service to remote communities and in emergency situations using commodity components that are self-contained and don't rely on external cellular infrastructure.
