What do you have to do to get a run of the mill android or iphone to work on a network like this?

Not much actually. You need to make auth work which means knowing some secrets stored on the SIM card. You can buy your own custom cards or probably use eSIM (however I haven’t tried option 2).

That is the first question that jumped into mind for me. How is this useful to me now. I assume that the LTE chip in our devices will handshake with these networks seamlessly.

They do and pretty reliably. The devs of the srsLTE stack even have this neat CI setup where they test the codebase against commercial hardware: http://www.softwareradiosystems.com/pipermail/srslte-users/2...
