[ NNSquad ] AT&T Ending 2G Network by 2017


AT&T Ending 2G Network by 2017

http://j.mp/Maapo3  (WSJ)

  "AT&T Inc. is shutting down its second-generation, or 2G, wireless
   networks by 2017 as it continues to upgrade its systems to faster
   technology and better use its limited airwaves.  The telecom giant
   said about 12% of its contract wireless customers, or roughly 8.4
   million people, were using 2G handsets at the end of June, but it will
   work "proactively" in coming years to move them to more advanced
   devices."
