Different wavelengths have different characteristics. Range, data transfer rates, energy consumption, susceptibility to interference, etc.
In short, no, you're not going to be easily switching from "TV bands" to 3G to whatever-you-want without some significant trade-offs for giving yourself that ability.
On the other hand though, if it's a drone using 3G for control then realistically the controller could literally be anywhere on the fucking planet.
They can have all the excuses they want, they have no capability of banning something that most people under 30 already possess and can be purchased for less than a packet of cigarettes.
Mudshits are too inbred retarded for this tech, but mossad isn't, at least not too retarded to steal it.

Read the Turner Diaries. You are the character that Earl Turner executes in Chapter VII
...
They're too inbred and retarded to think of anything other than ramming a truck into a group of kids, but once the idea is out they can copy.
I really wonder if this is to keep certain people from leaving or arriving at Gatwick. It's mostly charters and budget travel IIRC.
I've been waiting for this type of event to happen.
creating a drone that can't be brought down by radio jamming is a piece of cake
you just have it move autonomously, controlled by a program in it's flight control computer.
you can also have it only respond to encrypted commands, so it can't be overpowered by a different transmitter
you can also have it receive signals on light frequencies, like infrared, optical, ultraviolet, etc.
even if they go scorched earth and jam GPS, you can easily do optical location sensing using landmarks, the stars, etc. or inertial positioning
long story short, if they are up against a PhD in electronics engineering, they are going to have to blast it out of the sky.
Reminder that the UK has a hacker culture that isn't as looked down on as well as they had a robust history of pirate radio and some crrrrazy STL links used to that they wouldn't be caught.
