So we've talked a lot about the drawbacks. What I don't quite understand 
are the supposed benefits. Is this just "we can do it, so we will do 
it"? I can sort of understand it for remote desert airports in the US, 
where the nearest city is far away, and where it may be preferable to no 
ATC at all.

But London City? Why? It's literally in the middle of one of the biggest 
cities.

To me it looks like a solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist.
