AT&T announced several months ago that they're turning off CDPD in 2005. I assume this being driven by the end of mandated AMPS service.

I've been an Earthlink CDPD customer since they bought out OmniSky, having
switched the service for my Visor/Minstrel S from Go America.  I just got an
email from them that they're dropping CDPD service (resale -- they never
owned the networks anyway, of course) in favor of 1xRTT -- which they don't
operate either (though you could never tell that from the language of their
email, unless you already knew).

So, if any of you LAN guys are also WAN guys, it's time to start
re-evaluating CDPD... it looks like it might be the beginning of the
gets-harder-to-buy curve there.
