AMPS, as I understand it, is required to be around until 1/1/2007, as mandated by tge FCC.
Scheduled to die soon, if it hasn't already. I was a second-tier CDPD sub, via Earthlink, until about a year ago; they took a hit to move me to 1xRTT, because the underlying networks were scheduled to go down, in keeping with the general decommissioning of analog AMPS, during this calendar year, as I understand it. It was extended because of a couple of large PD's who needed more time to switch (or amortize their gear; take your pick).
