Lightning Talk: Democratizing Cellular Access with
summary
CellBricks is a proposed cellular architecture that moves mobility and user management to end hosts and a broker, removing the need for pre-established trust or in-network coordination. Users sign up with a broker, request a specific Btelco cell, the broker authorizes the connection, the Btelco serves traffic, and the broker bills the Btelco per-byte — enabling on-demand access from any available access provider including tiny local operators. The claim: this reduces barriers for small operators, simplifies core networks, and yields more efficient spectrum and infrastructure use; a prototype design is described though no large-scale deployment or numeric performance results are presented.
