What are the mandates?  I haven't heard what is going on in that



Wireless phase 2, which most (if not all) of the available
solutions require digital phones, and a mandate from the 
FCC to go digital.


industry.  I can tell you that if analog goes away around my area, there
won't be any cell phone coverage to speak of.  The way it is now, some
areas have no coverage at all, and the ones that I can hill-top and get
into are analog and 30+ miles away.  A full power bag phone with good
external antenna is what it takes to have even partial coverage.


Well, no offense Gary, but you are in the middle of nowhere!  (Grin)

Lots of the US is still like that, but it is getting better.
