(I missed the beginnig of this thread; sorry if this is a repeat.)

There was the fellow demonstrating a spoofed 2G GSM tower at DefCon
recently:

And the YouTube video was pretty cool to watch, for technical depth.

Part of his talk described how he could (up a point) block 3G, to
cause phones to fail over to 2G, where he could get them.

4G is a whole different thing, but the talk was educational, nonetheless...
