Blackford Hill - microwave transmitter

The British Telecom microwave network was a network of point-to-point microwave radio links in the United Kingdom, operated at first by the General Post Office, and subsequently by its successor BT plc. From the late 1950s to the 1980s it provided a large part of BT's trunk communications capacity, and carried telephone, television and radar signals and digital data, both civil and military. Its use of line-of-sight microwave transmission was particularly important during the Cold War for its resilience against nuclear attack. It was rendered obsolete, at least for normal civilian purposes, by the installation of a national fibre optic communication network with considerably higher reliability and vastly greater capacity.

This was part of the link carrying TV signals from Manchester to Kirk o' Shotts transmitter. Now the question is that if this is now truly obsolete, why doesn't someone take it away? Please? It spoils a beautiful hill!
