John, I'll be able to post a lot more about this as I'm going to ask
Teleware to give me a few lines on it. The short answer is that the unit
uses 'guard band frequencies' and Teleware have a license for this in the
UK. In other countries it is advisable to check if you need permission.
For example I emailed the Maldavian telecoms regulator, who, rather
annoyingly, hasn't quite got back to me yet with a response.

How does this device work from a spectrum licensing point of view? Presumably it uses standard GSM frequencies so you need a license to actually use it.

When i started reading this post, I thought it might have been rubber glove treatment for you! Ha!

Good job it's just a case of pen-pushing, rather than finger-pushing....... ;-)
