      who is even going to buy the thing? I’m baffled as to why. Is there a discount mobile carrier that would buy cheap cell towers off the back of a truck in some dark alley? Did someone want to bring it home for better reception?

        Cartels, terrorist organizations, paramilitary groups. Anybody who wants their own network or easy backdoor access to an existing one. Just guessing though.

      What you call a cell phone has always been called a mobile phone in Australia. Likely other countries too.
