If you deploy now (really soon not now), then deployment is already done. Probably of deployment is 1. Also upgrades to existing deployments are almost always less contentious than initial deployments. And in terms of the logistics of deploying, less effort and money will be used at the later time (because most of the infrastructure will already be done), making that later effort easier (considering the marginal cost at that point, not easier/cheaper considering the total cost including cost that would then have already been sunk costs) If we had not planned to deploy, and then canceled (in other words if we waited to later to even initiate the idea), deployment would be harder than if it was already done, but would be easier than the current situation. The local governments would not have put themselves out hard for deployment, only to have the rug pulled out on the idea they had fought and spent political capital on.
