The biggest U.S. mobile operators, AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless, will finally close down their analog networks on Monday. At the same time, AT&T will turn off its first digital network, which uses TDMA technology. (Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile USA don’t have analog networks.) Most rural operators also plan on shutting down their AMPS networks.
