I didn't want to spoil a good history dig but did think why not
sell the lot. With over 4x as much money it should be able to
pay to replace all the legacy kit/software using 44 with stuff
doing v6. When the regulator takes spectrum away for others
often the others pay the cost of clearing incumbents off.

However I've become a v6 idiot as I'd rather we stop dragging
this out and get everyone on v6 sooner. Recycling v4 is
just time wasting for the convenience of a few rich people
and transferring operational problem of scarce v4 onto the
less well funded.
