I've got a blog coming up on this shortly, but I'll comment that there  
is a BTS-like project that integrates with Asterisk.  Check out the  
"burning man" installation example where they ran Asterisk and OpenBTS  
in the desert and enabled all the GSM cell phones in a 1km radius and  
uplinked them through Asterisk over a long-haul radio link:

They need programmers and funding!
