Hi Several of the "big guys" have tried this approach.
The problem seems to be that you are at the mercy of the guy who is transmitting the signal. He may (or may not) be very good at keeping things running right. Regulations may (or may not) actually require him to lock his signal to GPS. A lot of these systems work just fine at > 1.0 x 10^-8 off frequency. You have to keep the slots lined up between them, but as long as everybody agrees on alignment, they keep running fine. There's a lot that you can get away with and still be providing a dial tone.

I am not conversant with cellular technology so I am curious! Any ideas and/or thoughts?
