How would this benefit a cell phone user? I know that perhaps a person won't be able to get signal inside and then this would come in handy. But aside from that, what other sorts of benefits are there to doing this?

Apparently it'll benefit travelers. You'll be able to access GSM and GPRS services using unlicensed spectrum technologies like Bluetooth and WiFi. You'll be able to experience seamless handovers between cellular networks and public and private unlicensed networks. The handsets would be dual-mode of course. What I don't understand is the word "unlicensed"...how do you make roaming agreements with unlicensed networks?
