Yeah, I dunno. How about

1. They can repurpose existing infrastructure with just a software change 2. Nobody has to pay for much out of their own budget or build it in anyone's back yard 3. Nobody has to declare it under any treaties or such 4. The system can receive as well as transmit 5. It's engineered and tested for continuous operation. There may even be excess capacity available almost for free 6. The system is massively redundant and supplies its own power and backup generators 7. More is better 8. Why not? 9. If it saves one child... 10. ... 11. Profit!

and so on. Just tossing out wild ideas here.

If only Nikola Tesla were alive to see this plan, he would certainly approve.
