I quite agree. If your company cannot earn revenue from a system, why employ the system? We, the military, close our operations when we have nothing to gain ie our flying has finished for the day, so the same principal is being applied. Hence the holes in LARS coverage that the document talks about.
My point was that, if you are mandated to provide a service, you will need to have the resources. You are quite right to ask that until someone works out a way of charging for LARS, etc, why should civil controllers have to provide it, unless it is in the flight safety interests of the unit? We only do it because it is in our interests to do so and the Crown picks up the bill.
I think this study is in danger of disappearing up its own fundament as it attempts to reinvent a wheel that works if you want it to but does not provide benefit (financial or otherwise) to all.
