Well there would be a tipping point where these smaller airports are running on a financial knife-edge, ATCO costs being quite a large slice of the running costs. If it comes down to the wire would they close the airport as not being financially viable or keep it open if they could reduce the running costs, one option being to run the tower remotely.
It is not an easy decision to make I suspect.
