I'm sure it's somewhat hard to change the system once deployed. They could just get a cheap global tariff -- but the eagles won't swap SIM cards themselves.

As it says in the article, they are now on a different tariff.

There are special tariffs for this type of usage.

Eagles won't swap SIM cards but researchers will do.

This kind of systems are not designed to last forever; Harness belts in young animals are designed to break, fall and be recovered.
