Rhizomatica went through the process and got a license; there was 5MHz of
spectrum that had never been licensed, and they took advantage of a period
of major policy reform in Mexico to make the case for allocating it for
community use. It took several years (starting with a provisional license,
eventually getting a permanent one) and they have an awesome lawyer on
their team who helped drive it.
There are some countries in the EU that actually are fairly permissive for
low-power use of GSM bands (Netherlands I think?).

I love this!
How did they not get sued for using licensed spectrum? Anything
similar in EU would fail because telecoms and EU and national
regulation bodies would sue you into oblivion :(
