5th channel = money to the treasury
....because you're selling a bit more spectrum off.
Which is why HMG were so desperate to sell of 5G mobile frequencies. (because money)
And then under the guise of "progress", the next rush is to get all the 3G cells turned off, so that 3G mobile would no longer be a thing*, and those frequencies can be sold off.... again, because money.
*And in the process rendering some smart meters (connected via 3G mobile) dead, and (as you would now expect) without warning the energy providers.]( "Brick wall")
.....Because just why would anyone apply any amount of forethought?
Unfortunately, as is the way, HMG sold off UK RF spectrum management to Arqiva.![:roll:]( "Rolling Eyes")
