Add that none are re-farming current spectrum. New technologies are deployed
in new bands instead of reforking 2g and 3g networks and reuse the spectrum
Only case is Sprint fading out Iden network for LTE...

1G was typically scrapped when they went to 2G. 1G for most was Analog
cellular (AMPS). Since digital technologies made spectrum much more
efficient, they were able to chop out some channels to deploy simultaneous
1 and 2G. They then phased out analog eventually replacing it with digital

Analog stuff was shut off a while ago.

it is off now. OnStar used it and when the FCC allowed carriers to shut down
their analog networks, some vehicle owners already had compatible radios, some
needed an upgrade, some where left behind.
It looks like
