    Isn’t the infrastructure for 2G also a factor? Over here for example we have lots of towers in remote mountain regions, rather complicated to upgrade all of them. It can be done but it will take a while.

      Not complicated at all. For the most part, all they do is swap one box - the transmitter. That’s it.

      (However, that doesn’t consider other things, like improvements in redundancy and safety, or construction standards that didn’t exist back then.)

      But really, all that needs to be done is pull out one box, and slide in a new box. Not complicated at all.
