I was part of the industry working group that saw off OfCom at the last attempt at this. This is the first industry working group I have sat one where every sector of aviation was united and gave the OfCom team a thorough roasting.
The lady giving the presentation and her manager were completely incapable of understanding the safety implications of these measures or willing to acknowledge that they could not resell the frequencies as there are protected for aviation use. She had the arrogance to assert that other countries would follow the example!!
These people are only interested in raising money for there masters at the treasury to help out a crippled and corrupt government.
