How much does it cost to keep the 2G and 3G networks running? Assume the cost of running the network is borne by the telecoms companies, whereas the smart meter replacements are a problem for the taxpayer.

    The telecom companies just charge their customers for it, who are basically "taxpayers" too. You pay either way, so a better question is what action is expected to offer best benefit-cost ratio?
