Analog Cell Phone Network Shuts Down Monday

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "AT&T and Verizon will be shutting down their old, analog AMPS networks next Monday, and AT&T will also turn off its old TDMA network, with smaller providers expected to follow thanks to a sunset date set by the FCC. After these old networks are shut down, the networks will be all digital. Of course, if you have one of those old fashioned 'just a phone' cellphones and it happens to be analog, you'd best enjoy the last few days before it becomes useless."

Radio Scanners now to be unblocked?

[zerobeat]

I wonder if that old stupid law insisting US bought radio scanners be blocked from tuning analog cell phone frequencies will now be removed. The practice of having an analog receiver "blocked" from tuning into non-existent analog cell phone conversations is now completely redundant.
