The company I work for sell SIP door entry phones but I'll not post 
anything here since this is not a commercial list!

We also used to have a DECT door entry system that would do the same 
thing as that kid has "invented" a few years ago.  It got a small bit on 
a TV program here in the UK called The Gadget Show.  I spent the day 
with the film crew guys setting up the kit but unfortunately didn't get 
to meet the rather nice woman who presents the show - they filmed that 
part another day and edited it all together.

Anyway, I don't really see that this is particularly unique, I also know 
of companies who already make GSM/3G door entry devices too although 
they are generally aimed at the business market rather than for home use 
(pricing & design reflects this).

cheers,
Paul.
