I'm surprised they're not keeping 2G GSM/GPRS for legacy applications. E.g. considering the life time of cars, for an eCall-like[1] solution having a network that'll be available for a few decades would make sense; or user-replacable modules. For smart meters I had to prepare a network cable into our new main fuse box; but IIUC we won't be getting one of these, for now it's just a requirement.
