   @kaia @mangeurdenuage at least here in finland, there's some legal requirement for telcos to have cellular coverage over any place with >x inhabitants per square km (don't remember the x), this is most easily done by keeping old narrowband GSM up

     @kaia @mangeurdenuage 3G base stations are the first to be phased out in most places, GSM is simpler and cheaper to operate

     @kaia @mangeurdenuage GSM 850/1900 (or EGSM 900/1800) are still in wide use for call coverage

     @mangeurdenuage plus these don't work with modern mobile frequencies and stuff anyway, right?
