But that Spectrum being used for 3G is beneficial. Not just for support of older devices but also increased, redundant coverage.

This purely Corporate Welfare legislation, which is going to backfire on the corporations when they realise they have to build more infrastructure to provide the same coverage.

It is going to be detrimental to product consumers because they won’t have the same amount of coverage. Also, the higher bandwidth of 5G is going to increase backhaul requirements which mean that the person calling 000 using VoLTE will need to compete with the person steaming 4K Netflix while playing CoD.

The only winners in the long-term will be the advertisers and data miners, who somehow manage to bloat a 4kB website to 40mB.
