Will it work as expected?

This appears to be the system investigated by Nokia in about 2001 to use the GSM 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands for a form of 3G style communications. They found it worked - but at the expense of the 'traditional' GSM signal, which was severely degraded. In some cases they found GSM was unusable while a base station was carrying a 3G type signal.
If Ofcom think users will be happy to have a poorer GSM service while others get a form of 3G, then they need their heads examined by a phsyciatric professional.
Tell them to go talk to the electronics designers at Nokia rather than the marketing hype team.
