Setting up a celular base station while not trivial is not impossible.
The hardest part is the RF Tx and Rx sections, of which you need at
least two if you want to place calls and three if you want to place a
call to another phone on the same base. 50 to 75 years from now the
cell phone collectors should be able to make their own base stations
and route calls to other like minded people via their ever-on
broadband network connections.
