This is strange. I know a lot of countries are sunsetting 3G and 2G in terms of consumer mobile usage. But they leave IoT alone for a few more years because of contract and money in it.

Spectrum is a limited and highly contested resource. There is very likely no way for 3G to coexist just for IoT.

It’s contract only, mobile carriers are not happy that they have to maintain the 3G equipment just for IoT.
