No. Details like that does not comes into play. If the quality of the
gear does not match the specs, the manufacturer gets a serious problems
so they choose components accordingly. They kick the manufacturer around
or they choose another if worse comes to worse. Shifting out systems is
a much bigger thing. It is about being able to provide the needed
services, ensuring the revenue stream. Shifting out old systems can also
release frequency spectrum for new more efficient services. This may be
at the control of the spectrum authority.
So issues like poor capacitors does not really come up. Telco runs quite
a different ship than consumer PCs. Way different.
Cheers,
